Photos
This is such a beautiful place, it needs some photos - I'm going to take some shortly and offer them under the GFDL. problem is, I don't know how to upload photos to wikipedia.. Whitehatnetizen 03:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Stone of Remembrance?
I notice one of uncaptioned photos shows what strongly appears to be a CWGC Stone of Remembrance (inscribed "Their Name Liveth For Evermore"). I am hesitant to attach a description or comment in the body of this article, having noticed the sub-article on the Stone states they are erected in cemeteries containing at least 1000 Commonwealth War Burials (there are less than 400 in Toowong). I have left a question in the Talk page of that article.Cloptonson (talk) 11:37, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

List of notable burials
Hi everyone, I was going to go into the Notable people interred section on the Toowong Cemetery article and do some culling of that list but noticed there have couple of more names recently added to it so have not touched it.

The reason I was going to trim it back is because there is a category for the burials at that cemetery and the current list was starting to look cumbersome. I was just wondering what other people's thought are. There are a few options that have been suggested.
 * 1) Put all the articles in the category into the list to make them more consistent. If so, the list really becomes too long for the article so we'd probably need to put the list into a separate article "List of notable people buried in Toowong Cemetery" and link to that from the "Toowong Cemetery" article.
 * 2) Perhaps the people listed in the article should just be the "most notable" ones, but then how does one decide which are most notable?
 * 3) Just put the people who don't yet have an article in the list in the Toowong Cemetery article and link to the Category for the rest. Currently the Toowong Cemetery article has a link to the Category but without any explanation. It might be better to be explicit and say "A list of people buried in Toowong Cemetery can be found in the Category:Burials at Toowong Cemetery and in the list below". Of course, to put people in the list we'd have to think they were notable enough that one day someone might write an article. There's about 40,000+ people buried in Toowong so we don't want them all appearing in the list!
 * 4) Do nothing and don't worry about it

Would love to hear everyone's opinion on this!
