Friends of Karori Cemetery - Upcoming Tours
We have a busy two weeks ahead!
Sunday 5th February:
FREE INTRODUCTORY TOURS - 11am and 12pm
This short (30-45mins) tour outlines the development of Karori Cemetery since the first burial in August 1891, traversing the earliest burial areas which contain many interesting memorials and monuments. No booking required. Meet your guide at The Shelter (signposted). Cancellations due to bad weather will be notified on our Facebook page.
TALES FROM THE VAULTS TOUR - 10:30am
Find out who is in and who is out of some of Karori cemetery’s most substantial dwellings. Note: tours do not enter vaults or try them out for size. $10 per person.
Friday 10th February:
EVENING TOUR - 8pm
Would you like to join us and explore the beauty of Karori Cemetery in the evening?
This tour is for anyone who would like to see the Cemetery through a different lens, as the landscape settles in from dusk to darkness. On this walk you’ll be accompanied by two guides who will take you on a wander through some of the most magical parts of the cemetery, with a story or two of early Wellingtonians along the route. We might even spy a Ruru/Morepork or two! The tour does not have any scary themes. $10 per person.
Sunday 12th February:
S.S. PENGUIN TOUR - 2pm
To commemorate this maritime tragedy the Friends will be undertaking a guided tour of most of the Penguin graves on Sunday 12 February. This is our first attempt by the Friends to widen the knowledge of this tragedy. This is a free tour and bookings are required.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
