Geocache Description:

Nice park overlooking Pauanui bar.Easy to get to, should be an easy find. Terrain almost flat, may need to traverse some sand.

The SS wairoa foundered on the bar here in 19--? whilst in transit to Slipper island. There is a monument to this event at this virtual waypoint, and part of the engine block is all that remains.

To get to the cache, use S37 00.447 and E175 51.770 Change the last three digits of South co-ord by adding up the digits in the year it foundered, and add that sum to 447.

For the East co-ord (last 3 digits) again add up the digits of the year that it foundered and add that to 770.

My apologies to the ones that I may have brought confusion to as far as the calcs.This has now been amended
