Greg Lomax was born in Canberra on 21 June 1925 and died on 21 March 2003. He was a fourth generation Canberran who worked for the ACT Police Force and was the head of the Police Motor Cycle Division.
This collection of photographic slides taken by Greg, portray scenes of Canberra during 1959-60. They capture a key time in the development of Canberra. Among images of significant buildings in the city, the slides show the construction of Commonwealth Avenue and Kings Avenue Bridges, as well as views of the Molonglo River Valley, which was later dammed to createe Lake Burley Griffin. The collection also details the roles of the Australian Federal Police, with slides showing police escorts and barricades during royal visits. Some slides also show rare snow falls in the hills around Canberra, including Black Mountain and Red Hill.
The latter part of the collection contains Lomax family images, including birthday parties, wedding anniversaries and holidays to the south coast of New South Wales and northern Sydney. The slides were taken by Greg Lomax who worked for the ACT Police Force and was the head of the Police Motor Cycle Division.
