  • 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.

    I worked at Toowong Cemetary early 70's dug quite a few graves and did a lot of mowing, nice to see it after all those years, i did notice a lot more trees.

    I seem to remember something about the broken column & wreath signifying a life cut short (someone dying before their time).

    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.

    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?

      I'm hoping to do another video in Dutton Park/ South Bank Cemetery soon (if work permits....busy lately).

    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
      @bnewanderer  3 роки тому +1

      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!
