Swinburn-Kokonga cemetery |

![]() This cemetery is still in use. The area is enclosed by mature trees with some interesting variations of pines and is quite tidy, well maintained with an impressive carved sign at the entrance. Officially it is the SWINBURN-KOKONGA cemetery but it seems everyone calls it by the first name. It services the farming communities at the northern end of the Rock and Pillar Range. The nearest other cemeteries are Ranfurly and Naseby in what is called the Maniatoto, a central bowl in the mountains where farming has long outlasted gold mining. |
