HISTORIC WOODEN CROSS PROJECT
The Friends of Karori Cemetery are embarking on their first fundraising and restoration project.
The large Totara cross found at Karori Cemetery is the Cemetery's oldest landmark. It was originally placed at the top of the rise at the centre of the Cemetery in 1892 and had stood for over 120 years. It would have once been visible to everyone who visited the Cemetery.
The Friends of Karori Cemetery are seeking contributions to have the Cross conserved and restored to its original position. Join with the Friends by donating to help ensure this piece of Wellington's cultural heritage is not lost forever.
If you would like to contribute, please go to our Give a Little page:

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.
