The area considered to be the Far North of New Zealand is that part of the North Island north of the Mangamuka ranges.
These are bush-clad, and extend virtually completely from coast to coast.
On the northern face, where the main highway finally ceases to wind is Victoria Valley, and just to the east is Oruru and somewhat nearer, Fairburn settlement. The farming communities that became established in these tucked away valleys were isolated and self sufficient in virtually everything, once they had broken in their bush-clad hills. The records in this cemetery, along with the associated Peria, Victoria Valley and Mangonui records provide a clear record of the lives of our pioneer past in Northern NZ. To find the cemetery is a little tricky; drive down the Fairburn road until you pass the limeworks and continue past Meffin and Fisher-Riley roads by nearly 2 km and a small lane appears abruptly on the right. The cemetery is on the top. We have now gone to a live on-line database called MOP ('Myra's Other Place') and the records listed below are steadily being copied over. Once a record is there a green tick will show alongside the entry. The MOP database has a lot more than just cemetery records and is worth checking out here where you can log in as Guest password guest. To find a person enter the surname in the target box and presss ENTER. This will list every case of that surname across all cemeteries. To list all persons in a particular cemetery enter the name of the cemetery and change the pull-down option immediately to the left from LAST NAME to CEMETERY then ENTER.
