5.00This tour was fantastic. I was able to learn a lot about the symbolism and rituals of headstones and graves, the local area and the people who had previously inhabited it. Guide was knowledgeable and fun.
Lisa passed on a lot of information re our pioneers.

5.00Excellent experience. Drove up from Brisbane on very cold day. It was worth it. Lots of information re pioneers of Queensland and Toowoomba. I am in the process of family tree, this made me more interested in going forward.
