Friends of Toowong Cemetery, in conjunction with The University of Queensland School of Social Science, have been searching for buried headstones in the cemetery grounds since 2006. The annual archaeology dig is a chance to unearth Brisbane's history.

The headstones discovered in Toowong Cemetery archaeological digs are believed to come from two sources:

• Headstones from the Paddington Cemetery Reserved Area dumped in Toowong Cemetery in the 1930s

• Headstones from Toowong Cemetery destroyed and buried in the 1970's as part of the Brisbane City Council's 'Beautification Scheme'

Wear enclosed shoes, sunscreen and a hat, and bring something to drink.

When: 9am to 2pm, Saturday 20 May 2023

Where: Toowong Cemetery, Toowong Qld 4066 - enter at the Richer Street entrance and follow the signs to the dig
