Biography
photographer, the eldest of three children, was born at Burnt Yards (NSW) in 1909. Her father, John, was manager then owner of a sheep and wheat property. When she left Walli Public School in March 1922 at the age of thirteen, Alice was presented with a Box Brownie camera. Films were sent by post to Kodak in Sydney until she purchased her own equipment for developing. The few known extant examples of her work (1926-31) are of her brother, Eric, and Bob Costello, a labourer employed by John Green. Alice married Allen Roy McGregor, a BHP prospector at Junction Reef Goldmine, in the Church of England at Mandurama on 9 June 1934. They moved to Newcastle and had a son, Malcolm, in 1938. Alice did not pursue her early interest in photography. She died in July 1994. Writers: Goodhew, Vanessa Date written: 1995 Last updated: 2011
