The first visit to Australia by a reigning Monarch. Part 2 of 8
Melbourne and surrounds 1954, People, building decorations (day and night), parade of floats and a very young Queen Elizabeth II. Silent movie, a social historians feast.
Footnote: Most film taken of the tour was in B&W, but very little in COLOR. This makes it very rare. Enjoy .......
What a dedicated man to take all that footage - and for you to post it here. Thanks so Much.
Any more of Melbourne from that time?
