CEMETERIES QUEENSTOWN AND ARROWTOWN

I was pleased when I was on holiday in the South Island to find two cemeteries. The bottom photos were taken in Queenstown and have the most beautiful angels I have seen so far in New Zealand.



I loved the backdrop of these cemeteries, very peaceful.

It's sad to see graves of such young children but thought it appropriate to have a young angel as gravestone.







This family plot had a grave for William MacKenzie from the famous Walter Peak Station. William lost his life in a snow slip in sight of his home. He was only 21.
