Step into the shadows of history on our Law & Order: South Brisbane Cemetery tour—where the past comes alive under torchlight! This gripping experience unveils the untold stories of Queensland’s most notorious lawbreakers, rebels, and rogues.
By graveside, we’ll delve into the real-life tales of those who defied authority, dominated headlines, and did time behind bars. Expect scandal, intrigue, and jaw-dropping moments as we explore cases like:
⚖️ A ‘Red Flag’ rioting politician
🎩 The light-fingered phrenologist
🔗 300+ convictions (and counting!)
⚰️ A most unconventional exhumation
🕵️ The lawless lawyer with too many aliases
…and many more!
Join us as we dig deep into Queensland’s criminal past, where some gambled with the law—and lost. But be warned: these stories are as thrilling as they are true.
All of our tours are not-for-profit, with all money raised going to our cemetery history and maintenance projects.
