Highlights
Outing Highlights
One of Australia’s earliest European burial grounds
Although officially gazetted in 1862, burials at Nundah began decades earlier; the cemetery’s age and intimate scale make it a rare setting for close-up historic narratives and memorial symbolism.
Researched true tales and local legends
The guide presents a catalogue of researched stories — including Death by Chocolate, The Ghost Girl, The Premonition, The Ghost Ship and the Professor — drawn from archives, libraries and local oral history.
Intimate, guided and community-minded
Tours run with restricted group sizes, are led by experienced guides and include a donation to the Haunted Heritage Fund, creating an intimate atmosphere and supporting heritage work.
