Geocache Description:

This cache brings you to Waikanae Beach - a beautiful and wild beach on the Kapiti Coast. This part of the beach is bordered by Pharazyn Reserve with it's network of walkways and cycle tracks.


This is a three-stage multi

The first cache (virtual) is at the above co-ordinates. This position is accurate to within a couple of metres. The PHYLLIS - a fishing trawler, was washed up on this location on the night of June 7th/8th 1954. She was fishing too close to shore. All the crew were saved, and a lot of the hull was scrapped. The posted co-ordinates will lead you to be standing on (or close to) a section of one of the old boilers, just at the level of the sand. The shifting sands cover and uncover parts of the wreck over time - a few years ago the entire bow section and shape of the hull were visible above ground; now practically none of the wreck can be seen.

From the location, the next step is to find the waypoint cache at a distance of .31km (+/- 10 m), and a (TRUE) bearing of 45 degrees. If you use a magnetic compass, you’ll need to adjust for declination, and be aware that you’re standing over a large chunk of steel.

This waypoint cache contains no logbook, but it’ll give you the information you need to find SISTERWATCH, the last cache of the trio. You will need to be within 1 metre of the cache to see it.

The cache is a painted green 2-litre Sistema container that is clearly marked.

Original Contents:

  • Logbook & pen

  • Dog stamp

  • Bracelet watch

Good luck!
