Under its scheme to commemorate places associated with the visit of the great navigator, the Centennial HJstorical Committee intends to erect a cairn, with a suitable plague, at Kopu, close to the bridge near the roadway. A similar cairn is to be erected at Mercury Bay at the place where Captain Cook observed the transit of the planet Mercury.
