Toowong Cemetery, Heritage-listed cemetery on Mount Coot-tha slopes in Brisbane, Australia.
The cemetery covers forty-four hectares of land at the intersection of Frederick Street and Mount Coot-tha Road in Brisbane's western district.
Established in 1866 and formally opened in 1875, the cemetery holds the remains of Samuel Wensley Blackall, the second governor of Queensland.
The cemetery layout reflects 19th-century social distinctions with separate sections for different religious and cultural groups representing Brisbane's population diversity.
The cemetery gates remain open from 6 AM to 6 PM daily, and while new graves are unavailable, family plots can be used if space permits.
The cemetery contains 387 Commonwealth war graves, including 270 from World War I and 117 from World War II.
