Murder & Mayhem!

Join us for a chilling night-time journey through true tales of crime, tragedy, and twisted fate in the original Murder and Mayhem cemetery tour. Beneath the quiet headstones of South Brisbane Cemetery lie stories that once shocked a city.  On this gripping after-dark walk, we delve into the real-life dramas of those caught up in scandal, violence, and heartbreaking loss, all based on thoroughly researched historical records. This tour will take you deep into the shadows of Queensland’s criminal past, where nothing is quite as it seems. Prepare to hear about:

• A betrayal that shattered a family from within
• A suspicious death… and a husband under the microscope
• The gallows execution that went terribly wrong
•  A mother and baby child’s final, frozen night

Led by engaging storytellers, including award-winning cemetery historian Tracey Olivieri, this unforgettable experience is a safe and atmospheric way to explore one of Brisbane’s most historic burial grounds under the cover of darkness. Dare to walk among the departed, discovering the real stories behind the stone. All of our tours are not-for-profit, with all money raised going to our cemetery history and maintenance projects.
