Welcome to Friends of Toowong Cemetery

The Friends of Toowong Cemetery is a voluntary organisation of people with a special interest in the Toowong Cemetery (formally known as the Brisbane General Cemetery), located in Toowong, Brisbane, Australia.

The Toowong Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Queensland and is an important record of the history of Brisbane and Queensland. It was officially opened in July 1875 and over 126,000 people are buried there. Toowong Cemetery is an operating cemetery.

We are consulted by the Brisbane City Council in decisions regarding future planning, new iniatives, restoration of graves.
