Tractor driver finds South Island's first moa footprints in Otago river

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

A man walking along an Otago river has found the first preserved moa footprints in the South Island, believed to be millions of years old.

Michael Johnston was taking his boss's dogs for a walk along the Kyeburn River in March when he spotted the "odd looking" footprints submerged in clay, exposed after flooding late last year.

Johnston, a tractor driver, thought the footprints, which measured about 30 centimetres long and 30cm wide, could belong to the extinct bird.
