Welcome!
Greg and Sylvia Ray’s books of historical photographs of Newcastle NSW and the Hunter Region have brought back memories of times past to thousands of people since the series began in 2010 with the best-selling Newcastle, The Missing Years.
Since then, the couple has acquired a very large library of images, mostly depicting the Hunter Region but also other parts of Australia and New Zealand.
Greg and Sylvia have decided to launch this website as an online shop for their books, but also as a platform to display and market images and other material from their collections.
It is planned to steadily upload images and articles on a variety of related topics in the months and years to come.
