Russell Philip – What Lies Beneath

Discover the hidden stories of Burra’s past through What Lies Beneath, a posthumous exhibition by local artist Russell Philip at the Burra Regional Art Gallery.

Inspired by Russell’s investigations of the historic Burra Dugouts, the exhibition brings together sketches, artworks, photographs, and artefacts that reveal the lives of the miners and families who once called these underground homes their own. Through careful research and artistic interpretation, the exhibition offers a unique perspective on one of Burra’s most iconic heritage sites.
