In a suburban park in Ipswich, west of Brisbane, Daniel Thompson and Anna Schollum push a strange-looking device back and forth across strips of land around a big gum tree.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised this article contains the name of a person who has died.
The device is a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scanner and can reveal soil disturbances several metres below the surface.
Mr Thompson and Ms Schollum hope the technology will help confirm what they have long believed that Yuggera man King Billy Turner was buried in Shapcott Park in the late 1800s.
