Discover Symonds Street Cemetery

Hidden among the bustle of busy motorways and inner city streets is Auckland's oldest cemetery.

This setting of wild bush and streams is a significant heritage site and the final resting place of a who's who of Auckland's history – from famous early settlers and politicians to ordinary folks.

David Verran explores their stories and those of the many communities represented here, including Māori, Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Jewish.
