Greg Hallam

Greg Hallam has been with QR/Queensland Rail since 2000, and has been the Historian for the organisation for (nearly) all of the past 21 years. Greg is a third generation member of the Queensland Railways, with a grandfather commencing as a locomotive cleaner in Bundaberg in 1911.

Greg is a post graduate of the University of Queensland, and had been active professionally in the community history and cultural heritage field for nearly 30 years.

He has published work, has travelled Queensland extensively in times past documenting the story of the railways and their connection to the State, and has also been fortunate to have travelled from Brisbane to Mareeba, Longreach and Charleville behind steam locomotives for various anniversary events sponsored by Queensland Rail (and even had his ‘office’ set up for a while in the guards' van of a steam train between Emerald and Longreach, and to Mareeba…)
