Bondi Surf Carnival for Queen's 1954 Visit
Royal Command Surf Carnival for Queen Elizabeth II’s 1954 Visit to Bondi
This was the Queen’s first visit to Australia and was the year after her coronation. (Speaking of coronations.)
Approximately 100,000 crammed onto the beach and other vantage points. They had 71 minutes with the royal couple before they choofed off.
Thank you Julian Porter for the photos.
