Blackball Cemetery
About 20 minutes outside of Greymouth is the small village of Blackball. It has a lengthy history associated with coal mining and industrial action but it was originally a gathering place for gold miners. The cemetery is alot bigger than this photo shows, this is only a small part of it overlooking the road.

...it's in the style of southern cemeteries here in the US!
Blackball’s layered history, from gold rush beginnings to coal mining struggles, makes the quiet hillside cemetery feel like a keeper of many untold stories
