Mission Cemetery
Mission Cemetery-November 2024
Nov 14, 2024

  This shady little cemetery, overlooking the bridge, has some interesting memorials relating to battles fought between local Māori and government forces in the 1860s. A prominent red-granite monument honours Rāwiri Puhirake, a Ngāi Te Rangi chief remembered for issuing a code of conduct for dealing mercifully with British civilians and wounded soldiers during the conflict.
