This tour is running in conjunction with The Friends of Toowong Cemetery.

Bookings by Eventbrite only.

Only 30 spaces available but there is a waitlist. If you have trouble booking a ticket, email us and we will add you to the Eventbrite booking.

Morning Tea will be provided from 9.30am to 10.30am

Two tours will depart at 10.30am and return at 12.30pm. The group will be split after everyone arrives and one tour will run clockwise and the other counter clockwise.

There are hundreds of Queensland Police officers buried at Toowong Cemetery for every rank from Commissioner down to Constable. The tour will wend its way though the cemetery and stop at the most interesting of these graves.

Grave of Sergeant Thomas Heaney

PLEASE NOTE:

The tour will go ahead except in the event of rain which makes the cemetery slippery and hazardous.

Please research ways to get to Toowong Cemetery. The main entrance is in Frederick Street, right at the corner as you turn left off the roundabout, the entry comes up quickly so please be careful.

It is a lovely 2km walk from Auchenflower Railway Station. Just be careful crossing Milton Road and Frederick Street.

Toowong Cemetery is very hilly so please wear sensible shoes. It may be chilly in the morning but warm up later so bring a hat and some water to carry with you.

Toilet facilities will be available where we meet near the car park.

Grave of Seymour family
