In 2007, the MG Car Club of Qld celebrated
forty years of operation of its hillclimb venue at Mt Cotton by
publishing a book covering the forty years of competition held there.
In order for this book
to be compiled, photographs from the earliest days of competition were
needed and photographer Brier Thomas gave access, at no cost, to the
Club for use in the book.
 All
of his negatives of events at Mt Cotton were scanned but, of course, all
couldn’t be used. It seemed only sensible that the photos be made
available to anyone interested in seeing them all and thus a photo disc
was compiled and made available for sale. The disc, like others that
have now followed, took the form of a catalogue of the photos with the
potential for people wanting to purchase larger files of individual
photos to do so at a reasonable price.
 It
then seemed natural to continue and scan more of Brier Thomas’s
negatives as he had been the official photographer at Lowood circuit and
had also taken photos for many years at Lakeside and also at the Surfers
Paradise circuit.
Consequently all of his Lowood, Lakeside and Surfers Paradise
negatives
have been scanned and made available on photo discs for use in your
computer.
There are so many Lakeside photos that they have had to be on four
discs covering the years 1961-1966; 1967-1972, 1973-1979, and 1980-1989. Likewise, there are three discs for Surfers Paradise covering the
years, 1966 -1970; 1971-1977 and 1978-1986.
Every negative of
Brier’s has been scanned and none of them has been altered or enhanced
in any way.
These photo discs are
available for sale from the MG Car Club of Qld Inc (an order form is
available on the regalia page of their website
www.mgccq.org.au ) or from here (Click
