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 cemetery, 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...
