Haunts of Brisbane: South Brisbane Cemetery

Next tour available for bookings

Friday 14 June 2024
7.30 – 9.45 pm

Explore one of Queensland’s grandest and most beautiful Victorian-era cemeteries under the stars with the people who know it best.

The Haunts of Brisbane: South Brisbane Cemetery tour is a special night-time experience. You will discover some remarkable Real History with Liam Baker (creator of the ‘Haunts of Brisbane’ project), as he shares some of the ghost stories, cemetery folklore and the horrible history surrounding this very special place. Hear amazing true stories of the Woogaroo Lunatic Asylum, scandalous burials, the deadly Bubonic Plague… and be prepared for some spine-tingling tales of the ghosts that are said to reside within South Brisbane Cemetery.

This is a great way to safely see the cemetery at night. Liam will be assisted on this tour by award-winning cemeterians Tracey Olivieri and Chris Dawson, and they will all be more than happy to chat with you and answer your questions during the tour.

Haunts of Brisbane: South Brisbane Cemetery is part of the Queensland Cemetery History Tours range – Brisbane’s best and most affordable cemetery night tours.
