Hello Carol

We visited the Karori Cemetery on a visit to Wellington a couple of years ago.  Do try and go. It covers 40 hectares and there are 80,000 people buried there.

Strange to say but it was a wonderful days outing and so much to see..........

It's on my list of things to do.
Hubby wanted to go down but did not stay around long enough. So it is one of the job's i want to do for him and his Dad.
I'll take my 3 boys and will supervise.

Regards
Carol
