Seeing what's under the surface - geophysics in action!

Public demonstratiion of the 'geophys' so beloved of TV's Time Team! Brisbane geophysicist Mohammed Hayat will be using ground penetrating radar to 'see' what's below the surface the of the creek line in Toowong Cemetery. In the 1970s the cemetery underwent a 'beautification' process whereby monuments and other masonry considered to be dilapidated or unsightly were removed and dumped in the creek line. Since 2005 UQ archaeologists, Friends of Toowong Cemetery, school students and members of the public have been excavating the creek line to recover and record the monuments. Now it is hoped that geophys will help direct the search!
