Virtual Tour - Toowong Cemetery

Simply just walking and talking, exploring the cemetery. No spooky stuff, no ghost hunting, just enjoying the surroundings.
This walk was about 6.5km, and I didn't see everything. I took about 2.5 hours to walk around and explore.

It’s a huge valley! How beautiful!

[@ronsmith2241]

Interesting place.. I have done a lot of our family history research there. Its amazing what you find. But these days people's ashes are often just cast in the bush or in the sea with nothing to identify that the person even existed. In earlier years, the council never mowed the grass between the graves. It was only cut if a funeral was conducted down that row. It looks much better now. Its difficult to identify where a grave is. eg The council just says a grave is so many rows from a certain tap.

Thanks for sharing your video. I stopped alongside the cemetery today funny enough about where you parked up, so I must put this on my to do list

Hi, I've commented before I found out my great great grandfather Eric Oluf Olsen Rostad is buried here. He passed in 1920! So long ago. Plus the grave is still there. Which I find pretty amazing, I am going to visit him very very soon, I visited my Dad's parents (my grandparents) in Pinaroo on Saturday. Something about the history plus the peacefulness is really nice. I can't can't put it into words. The way we present the stones after death. Really incredible to see what people did during their life on the stones, I'm also looking at getting into the funeral industry. A great industry, they're dying for people to apply (no pun intended) P.S how are you feeling mate?

[@bnewanderer]

Oh cool! That's awesome.
I'm feeling pretty good, thank you. I hope you're well.
I'm hoping to do another video in Dutton Park/ South Bank Cemetery soon (if work permits....busy lately).

[@sanbornolsen]

@@bnewanderer Thanks man, pretty cool 😎

[@sanbornolsen]

@@bnewanderer Glad you're well

[@SomedayStreet]

thank you for the unique tour, i like the vintage ambience

[@bnewanderer]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching. It certainly has a relaxing, historical feel to it.

[@sanbornolsen]

Really well done video

[@youngbess1]

I lived in To

[@sanbornolsen]

I'm planning on visiting here soon, I'm really into my history.
I'm going to take a water bottle and wear sunscreen, seems like it'll take a whole day to explore the cemetery.

[@bnewanderer]

I wish I had a little more time to explore that day. Well worth a visit.

[@youngbess1]

I lived in Toowong when doing my nurses training at the Wesley, didn’t know about the cemetery. I find grave yards so full of history.

[@sanbornolsen]

I hope you're doing well mate with your health. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour

[@bnewanderer]

Glad you enjoyed it. My health is going ok, thank you.

[@sanbornolsen]

@@bnewanderer Great 👍🏻 stay well

[@ree68moy33]

I used to work there and married a grave digger.

[@LadyBlueStudios]

we have a place I think they called gravity hill. when you sit at a certain point and put your vehicle in neutral it rolls uphill. We went and tried it. it did work and was really odd. There is an interesting trick to it.

[@bnewanderer]

We also have a similar place in Brisbane. It's an optical illusion making you think there's a hill. The one at the cemetery is just a myth. It really is a good hill. I'd be impressed if it really worked!

[@LadyBlueStudios]

@@bnewanderer same on the optical illusion part. It's so good it's really freaky and is listed several roadside attraction type sites.

[@bnewanderer]

@@LadyBlueStudios Did you film it at all?

[@LadyBlueStudios]

@@bnewanderer No unfortunately. I was driving and the passenger has no camera skills haha

[@bnewanderer]

@@LadyBlueStudios Haha! Understood. I will try the one here again and film it from all angles.
