Friends of Karori Cemetery - Murder & Mayhem Tour

Julia Kennedy from Friends of Karori Cemetery

We will be running this tour on Sunday 7th May 10:30am - 12:00pm

Karori Cemetery is the final resting place for people whose lives ended tragically – from drowning, from murder, and from accidents of all kinds. This tour includes the story of three militia men killed in a guncotton explosion; an attempted murder followed by suicide; a drowning or two plus other exciting stories.

Each tour is $10 per person (plus non-refundable booking fee). Children under 12 are free.

How to Book:
Please follow the link to secure your tickets:
events.humanitix.com...

Our tour has a maximum capacity of about 15 persons. If there are insufficient tickets remaining for your party, please email us on friendsofkaroricemeterytours@gmail.com to check if we can accommodate you.

Note:
If we have to cancel a tour due to inclement weather or sickness, we will notify you on the day by 9am by email and on our Facebook page. The booking fee is non-refundable.

Please dress appropriately for the conditions. While we do our best to guide you on a safe walking route, during the winter months the ground can become slippery in places.

Some of our walks require a moderate degree of fitness and are not suited for those with limited mobility. Please read the tour descriptions carefully to check that they will be suitable for you.
We look forward to welcoming you to Karori Cemetery.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
