Event Series (See All)
$34

This two-hour walking tour of one of Queensland’s oldest surviving cemeteries brings the incredible history of the Toowoomba region to life. The real lives and deaths of locals reveal gripping stories of hardships and hangings, triumph and tragedy, ingenuity and innovation, mischief and murder. Cemetery Tours Toowoomba’s experienced guide will unearth the stories of some fascinating people who rest in the Drayton & Toowoomba Cemetery. The tour explores cemetery symbolism, craftsmanship, and funeral and burial practices of a bygone era.

– Due to the graphic nature of some of the history discussed, children under 12 are discouraged.

– This tour traverses uneven ground, grassed areas, and narrow pathways. By their nature, cemeteries include tripping hazards such as graves, grave markers, and vegetation.

– Flat, enclosed shoes are a must. Consider bringing a water bottle. Dress for the outdoors: tours will go ahead in the rain as long as there is no lightning.
