Bet you didn’t know there’s a phantom pub on the road to the coast?

Archaeology ‘n art: During 2016, several eye-catching artworks – including Last Drinks at the Hibernian – which featured some of the items uncovered in the 2008 dig, were installed at the Belconnen Arts Centre as part of the University of Canberra Faculty of Arts and Design staff exhibition, Encyclopaedia of Forgotten Things. The artworks were the creation of Tracy Ireland, a professor of cultural heritage, and Dr Ursula Frederick, a fellow archaeological and heritage practitioner from the Department of Heritage and Conservation Studies. “Our research centre specialises in bringing creative practice to a range of other disciplines, including science,” explains Tracy. “Combining artistic or creative practice with archaeology is an emerging area.”
