A Cemetree Tour: The Roots of Toowoomba’s History

Wander through the magnificent trees that watch over Toowoomba’s pioneers and discover symbolic flowers hand-chiselled into sandstone headstones that help tell the stories of the departed.

This 90-minute walking tour through the heritage-listed Drayton & Toowoomba Cemetery offers a fascinating blend of history, nature, landscapes and symbolism.

Classified by the National Trust as being of regional significance, many of the cemetery’s century-old trees hold stories and secrets of their own – a living, breathing memorial to the past. Join the Cemetree Tour to discover the roots of Toowoomba’s history!
