You may think Wellington's weather is so unpredictable and so likely to be horrid throughout the winter months that there is no point arranging to take a tour of Karori Cemetery. Let me assure you, this is not the case. During the past 18 months I have only cancelled four tours because the weather was awful. On the other hand, 60 tours did proceed, throughout the year. Those taking a tour arrived ready for whatever the conditions were on the day - sun hats and shorts in the summer, and rain jackets, gumboots, and gloves in the winter. The central parts of the cemetery, which the themed tours traverse, are really sheltered, and I have become expert at finding the best spots to keep out of the wind, or in the shade on hot days. I have been impressed by the determination of those who have done tours with me to turn out even when conditions have seemed marginal. Vehicle tours have also been a great way of seeing the whole cemetery, no matter what the conditions - if it's hot it's too far to walk around the perimeter of 100 acres, and if it's freezing the views from within a vehicle are still great.
So, gather your friends, get your walking or other interest group geared up, and make a booking for a tour during the next few months. karoricemeterytour@gmail.com or 021 0653 778
