Suncorp Stadium

About this audio guide

This guide to Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane's Milton traces the ground beneath the pitch back to the North Brisbane Cemetery, the city's first burial ground, and an eighteen-oh-nine newspaper account of goats and children wandering over broken headstones. It follows the nineteen eleven act that finally cleared the site for recreation, and the families who did, and mostly did not, come to claim their dead. Listen from your seat on the pitch-facing stands, where the old cemetery once stretched from Castlemaine Street toward the river.
