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. North of this range the Aupouri Peninsula projects NNW for nearly 90km, with the harbours of Awanui, Houhora and Parengarenga on the undented eastern coast. The western coast is almost completely taken up by the long 90 Mile Beach.

Enter and leave at the bottom of the hill

 Travelling north from Kaitaia the road first passes through Awanui, then crosses the low lying paddocks to Waipapakauri, at the edge of what was once the local airfield. Today it is marked by the premises of the Waipapakauri Pub, but in earlier times the sandy hills to the west and south-west were places where Kauri Gum was dug, sorted and sold. Now it is the beginning of orchards and pine forests and in modern times an increasing number of avocado orchards as old dairy farms are sold on to big business.

A little further along the highway a road on the left offers access to the 90 Mile Beach via what is locally known as 'The Ramp'. Take this road and about a kilometer in, on the right, can be found the Waipapakauri cemetery, high on a rounded hill that looks out over the old gum diggings, and further off, against the hills, Kaitaia itself.

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.
