Now available in 4K • The Queen In Australia
From the Film Australia Collection. Made by The National Film Board 1954. Directed by Colin Dean. This film is the official record of the 1954 tour of Australia by Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen in Australia is a landmark in Australian history. It not only records the first visit by a reigning monarch to Australia, it was also the first colour, feature-length documentary made in this country. 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, and this film captures it all. The result is a remarkable and revealing insight into our nation in the 1950s.

"The Queen travelled 10,000 miles by air, making approximately 33 flights, 2000 miles by road (130 hours in cars in 207 trips), visiting all capitals except Darwin and 70 country towns, many by special "royal trains"...This extensive travel allowed some 75 per cent of the Australian population to see the Queen at least once during the tour."

She was so regal. Every thing about her was perfection. Her dress which was always so very elegant yet so very Queenly.

What a blast from the past! This Queen's first visit is my earliest memory and I wasn't even 4 years old yet! All I remember of seeing her was in the car coming up Birrell St at Wavely and my family were at a south/eastern corner of the intersection of Birrell St and Carrington Rd. Here Birrell St (just down from St Mary's Church) went into a slight bend and forever after as I grew up and passed that corner, I knew that was where I saw the Queen ride by. Very nostalgic and longing for an Australia, that is slowly disappearing, if not gone already. Time to grow up and become our own nation. Look to this film, for this depicted way of Australian life, will sadly never come again

What a wonderful, wonderful film and wonderful welcome and hospitality for our Queen. Australia did a fantastic job of hosting her for 2 months. Very sad also that both countries and people in general have changed so much since then. How respectful and decent people were back then, and how happy they seemed. God, our generation has much to learn!

Can you imagine the training that must have gone into our Queen for her never to believe that when 75% of Australia (actual approximation) came out to see her in that 2 months- she never let herself believe they were there for her. She always seems surprised when a jubilee comes up and the enormous affection people have for her is evident. Instead she says they come to see the monarch, it is the crown they are there for. I believe she is right, but my god it must be seductive to believe otherwise and must take some incredible personal strength to not fall for it. I read someone describe the Queen to “possess the calm steady gaze conscious of duty fulfilled.” I think that’s perfect. You always know exactly where you are with E R2. She’s always there. Remote. Steady. In the background but comfortingly visible. She doesn’t let you down Our Mag

It in our nature to remember bad times about history more then the good times I think, the same as bad news makes better reading than good news. But if look at memory's like this you can see the sense of community and joy people used to have. UK and the commonwealth done a lot of good in the world but think that overshadowed by the bad these days.
