Lisa Herbert - Wolston Park

My years-long search for the location of the remains of thousands of patients of the Brisbane Mental Asylum has been a fascinating and frustrating journey. The asylum's three cemeteries no longer exist. So where are the bodies? My half-hour presentation will explore the hospital's burial and exhumation practices, government policy of the day, and an exciting development that may see these missing patients acknowledged and the former cemeteries archeologically examined.
