- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 02 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Thu, 02 Jul, 2026 at 09:45 pm
- **Event Description**: Beneath the trees, beneath the stars…beneath the stones - the past waits.

Join us on a compelling night-time journey through Toowong Cemetery, where tragedy, history, and the supernatural entwine across the winding paths of one of Queensland’s most storied burial grounds.

Led by The Haunts of Brisbane creator and acclaimed paranormal historian Liam Baker, this torchlit tour peels back the layers of Brisbane’s lesser-known history - the lives lost, the fates sealed, and the mysteries that have refused to rest. With decades of deep-dive research into Brisbane's history, Liam brings together grim truths and eerie folklore in a way only he can.

Along the way, you'll uncover:

? A husband and wife, dead within days — a tragedy so profound it stirred intervention from the Crown
☣️ Brisbane’s brush with the ‘Black Death’ — and the last-minute decision that changed one burial forever
? The Boggo Road body that toured Brisbane — a macabre journey before its final stop at the morgue
? Sharks and a plane — when sea and sky collided on the beach in one catastrophic disaster
? Brisbane Gaol at Petrie Terrace — and the northside ground where its executed prisoners were laid to rest
But that's just the beginning.

Expect to hear about the early convict era, murderous tales lost to time, and the chilling stories that have attached themselves to the graves and memories of Toowong. Every tale is rooted in historical fact, no embellishment required.

History leaves a mark. Some say it also leaves a presence. Come walk through both...
