a shearer was recognized in the form of a plaque unveiled by the ACT Chief Minister, Jon Stanhope. The plaque forms part of the Canberra Heritage Trails project that tells the story of Canberra from the time of the Ngunnawal people onward. A documentary about Deucem's life has been green lit and is currently in pre-production. It is being produced by Deucem's great-grandson Benjamin Smith, who is also working on a screenplay for a feature film of his ancestor's life.
