Interesting cemetery, the Grafton Cemetery with Symonds Street through the middle. The University of Auckland's first Professor of Mathematics, George Francis Walker, is buried there.

I know this because I took the anniversary recreation of the below photograph, with the current members of the Department in the same places as they had been many years earlier.

It's a bit of a hard photo to see because it's a screenshot of a slide by John Butcher of a scan of a book.
