Mayne Medical School sits proudly at the heart of UQ Herston campus- but who is the Mayne Family? And are the mysteries, rumours, and legends that still circulate today fact, fiction, or something in between?

Join us for the 👻 Mini Mayne Mystery Tour 👻 and explore the whispers that have endured for generations. Decide for yourself which tales deserve to be believed... and which should remain a mystery.

All Herston-based students are welcome, including students from Dentistry and Public Health. Herston-based staff are also warmly encouraged to attend and join in the Halloween fun.

The event is free to attend, but places are limited, so make sure you register early to secure your spot.
