Stawell Underground Physics Lab Launch

The Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) was officially unveiled in August 2022. The project was supported by many university, government and community partners. At the completion of Stage 1 construction works, the contribution of these partners was recognised. Learn about the role each played in the development of SUPL.


Australia’s most high-tech CELLAR

The Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) congratulates researchers involved in the Cryogenic Experimental Laboratory for Low-background Australian Research (CELLAR).

The CELLAR will be a new facility within SUPL providing a high-tech cooling system called a dilution refrigerator. CELLAR introduces the potential to attract exciting new experiments and research collaborations that take advantage of the unique environment that SUPL provides, as well as the opportunity to further raise the STEM profile and local investment in regional Victoria.

Searching for signs of Dark Matter

Over more than a year, the team from the ABC travelled to Stawell to see the works happening 1km beneath the ground at Stawell Gold Mines. They produced a mini-documentary explaining our search for dark matter.
