Stories of Newcastle and the Hunter Valley

1954 our great grandparents (Hawkins) meeting the Queen and Prince Phillip in Newcastle | Phil Crossey
A sad day today with the passing of the Queen, Queen Elizabeth II, when she visited BHP | Aubrey Brooks
My favourite photo of Queen Elizabeth taken at BHP during her visit in 1954. It was taken by my uncle Alec Schrader who was a metallurgist at the BHP. He was also an avid photographer who developed his own films. He was often the BHP's official photographer.
