The Royal Yacht Brittania, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

The tour began in Brisbane and travelled to Cunnamulla, Longreach, Mount Isa, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and Cooktown. The individual essays and photographs represent a record of Queen Elizabeth II’s time in Queensland, primarily focusing on her visits to the regional centres across the state. During the 1970 tour of Queensland, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was accompanied by His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh, and Her Royal Highness Princess Anne. They arrived on board the Royal yacht Britannia which was their base between engagements.
