SUMMARY:Queerly Departed Tour
DESCRIPTION:For much of history\, queer lives have existed in the margins—expressed in coded language\, private relationships\, and subtle acts of resistance. Here in Aotearoa queer individuals contributed significantly to the cultural\, social\, and political fabric of our community\, even when recognition was denied to them in life. This tour seeks not to rewrite history\, but notice who may have been omitted\, to question what was assumed\, and to honour lives that deserve to be seen in their entirety. \nThis tour is suitable for people with moderate fitness. The route mostly follows paved surfaces but there are some areas of unevenness. Surefootedness is required. This tour involves approximately 2km of walking\, with some slow paced but uphill stints \nEach tour is $10 per person (plus non-refundable booking fee). Children under 12 are free. Tickets can be purchased on our ticketing website: \nhttps://events.humanitix.com/friends-of-karori-cemetery-queerly-departed-oct-2026-wellington-heritage-festival \nOur tour has a maximum capacity of about 15 persons.
