Well hello there
I happen to live just around the corner from that cemetery and often go there for walks! A great view of the ocean from there. Pity the folks can't enjoy it any more.
Anyway if you don't mind being patient, I'd be happy to take some photos. It's a fairly large cemetery.
Did you just want pics of the graves or what?

Yes please, one of the stone and maybe one zoomed out a bit showing the stone's immediate location would be great  :)

Thank you Newbe. As yet I'm still finding my way around, but will get around to posting some of my own quest soon.

You can find maps of the graves here:

ROBERTS in the Northern Cemetery

MOFFATT in Andersons Bay Cemetery

Sorry, I've just realised upon looking up these maps that these people appear to be buried in 3 different cemeteries around Dunedin. Only Thomas MOFFATT is in Andersons Bay!

Oh well, we'll see how we go. I'm not likely to get to the south one, but we sometimes visit the big bird aviaries at the northern end so will try and remember to pop into the cemetery some time.

Charles Henry Kettle's son Nathaniel married my 2C2R Lina von Tempsky, and I have much information on some branches of this family.  Where do you fit in?  I'd very much like to share information and have no worries about doing it off list
Cheers
