Queensland’s Great Court is “a secret that Brisbane doesn’t know it has”, says the editor of a new guide to the St Lucia landmark.

Suzanne Parker worked on Carving a history – a guide to the Great Court for 12 months, but sandstone carvers and architects had been working on the subject matter for the previous eight decades.

The guide is published as a book ($19.95) and free phone app.

Dr Rhyl Hinwood, the university sculptor from 1976 who worked on Great Court carvings for the following 35 years, and the book’s editor, Suzanne Parker, will be available for interview and photographs before the book’s launch tomorrow.

When:   4.30pm, Thursday 3 November 2016, before 5pm launch event.

Where:  Alumni Court, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, 4072. (Access via Mansfield Place.)

Who:  Dr Rhyl Hinwood, Suzanne Parker.
