5.00We got public transport to the cemetery, we were met at the gate and given a lantern prior to the start of the event which was run by brothers, which were extremely knowledgeable very sociable and made the evening very enjoyable and worth going. So much so we are venturing to the cemetery again in daylight .

4.00The stories of the residents. Made me want to delve more into the history of Brisbane. Did not know of the fate of the last man to be executed or of his visitor who still leaves flowers on his grave.
