Take a tour of the underground lab in Australia where scientists will search for dark matter.
See where they will work and eat 1km below the regional town of Stawell, and how they'll prepare to enter the lab to prevent dirt and dust contamination.

What a year it has been! A highlight was the 2024 @qdmroadtrip.
A team of 13 scientists travelled 8,000km from Brisbane to Broome, visiting schools and delivering public events.
The road trip aimed to share the joy and wonder of #science. youtu.be/4KHa_cs9b9A

Centre researcher Emma Paterson enjoyed delivering a talk at @TEDTalks Kings Park Youth 2024 on the weekend.
Emma, of @uwanews, helped develop a process to improve the production of medications, discovered when researchers were building a resonator to search for #darkmatter.
