Drayton and Toowoomba Cemetery, Heritage cemetery in Harristown, Australia.
The Drayton and Toowoomba Cemetery spans across extensive grounds at South Street and Anzac Avenue, containing over 45,000 burial sites and mature trees.
Established in 1850 as the first official burial ground for the Drayton-Toowoomba district, the cemetery expanded significantly between 1870 and 1873 to accommodate regional growth.
The cemetery sections reflect the diverse community, with dedicated areas for Anglican, Roman Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim burials, alongside military personnel and early settlers.
The Toowoomba Regional Council manages the cemetery, offering multiple interment options including headstone memorials, lawn plots, and columbarium spaces for ashes.
Emma Webb, who survived Australia's first appendectomy in 1893 and outlived her doctors, rests here alongside Queensland's first female mayor, Nell Elizabeth Robinson.
