Twilight Tales at Canberra’s Secret Graveyard
Join Tim the Yowie Man on an exclusive behind the scenes tour of old Weetangera Cemetery.
Hear tales of tragedy and misfortune of Canberra’s early pioneers. And what happened to the church that once stood amongst the graves? It can’t just vanish into thin air, can it? Oh, and we best not mention what happens when the sun sets. That’s for you to find out.
