The construction of the cable doesn't look much like SXC - but I've let their NOC know anyway. (I have reasonable capacity on the cable and quite frankly don't want my weekend ruined).

However - there's an old cable (1890 - 1956) called La Perouse (SYD) - Nelson which is noted as landing in Murawi Beach. The maintenance authority for it is listed as Cable and Wireless - you could call their cable system NOC, but I reckon they'd go "huh?".

It could be one of the older Pacrim or Tasman cables but I suspect it may be the Southern Cross Western cable. I would hope the appropriate people might be on this list to recognize the cable and initiate remedy action as the cable is in a very public and exposed position. http://tonyw.com/cable-2.htm There are some Telecom cable warning signs further back in line with the cable, and next stop from Murawai in the direction the cable is going is Australia.
