Frank De Marco with Mary
Hawker resident Frank De Marco came to Canberra from his native Italy in 1955 with his mother, elder brother and 2 sisters, to join their father Antonio, who had migrated 2 years earlier to become a gardener at The Lodge.
Frank was among almost 300 fellow long-time Canberrans who received their Chief Minister's Gold Awards on Canberra Day, recognising their unique contribution to our city.
Frank also proudly collected an award on behalf of his now 94-year old mother Concetta who lives in an aged care residential facility in Page and who Frank visits daily.
