About

Members of the Waitaki Society of Genealogists will take you on a journey through the historic Ōamaru Old Cemetery.
Every road we travel today exists because early settlers risked everything to build a future here. They faced untamed wilderness, harsh winters, and not a single modern convenience: no hot showers, no flat whites, and definitely no GPS to guide them.
Discover the lives that shaped our district. Every engraved name has a story. Whether marked by an ornate marble angel or a simple, fading inscription, each soul played a vital part in weaving the fabric of the community we have today.
