A mock up of what the new Suncorp Stadum (Lang Park) would look like along side Christ Church

In 2002, a major upgrade was ordered to develop the state-of-the-art facility now known as Suncorp Stadium. The perhaps-forgotten cemetery was reintroduced into the minds of Queenslanders when Archaeology students from the University of Queensland went to the site to conduct a dig.

During this time some of Queensland’s earliest European residents were relocated, but not all of them. Many of the bodies remain on the site today, truly dwarfed by the massive structure above, and making Suncorp Stadium truly hallowed ground.
