 Controversy was quelled for a time but the respite was short lived and the Cemetery was subjected to a parliamentary inquiry in 1877 where public health issues, the steep and rocky terrain, the distance and inconvenience for mourners and the cost in relation to other alternatives including mortuary trains to Toowong were considered.No further meetings were held by the Trustees until March 1878.The Cemetery had come to be valued for not only its heritage as the resting place of Governor Blackall but as a place for recreation and repose.
