A super moon that resulted in a very low tide revealed a surprise at Invercargill's Oreti Beach.
Concerned that surfers or swimmers might be injured by the car wreck, a pair of local surfers hammered a pole into the sand to warn people of the dangers that lurk there, until Invercargill City Council officials have had a chance to get a digger in to remove the wreck.
It is not known to whom the car belonged or how long it has been there, the Otago Daily Times reports.
