Summary A landmark in Australian history THE QUEEN IN AUSTRALIA not only records the first visit by a reigning monarch to Australia, it was also the first colour, feature-length documentary made in Australia. This historic program provides nationwide coverage of the 1954 Royal Tour by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh-a two-month journey that took in every facet of Australian life: garden parties at Government House, dancers at the Tivoli, racing at Randwick, tennis at Kooyong with Rosewall and Hoad, cricket with the Don, even a meeting with Papua New Guinean tribal chiefs. The young royals visited every state in the nation. They toured the Newcastle steel mills and Mildura vineyards, saw woodchopping at Wagga and the Flying Doctor Service at Broken Hill. This film captures it all.
