Title: Royal visits to Australia
Description: The frequent, whirlwind royal tours of today are a far cry from those to Australia between 1867 and 1954. These stretched over months, bursting with events such as civic receptions, state banquets, military reviews, cricket matches, agricultural shows, processions, school children's pageants and the laying of foundation stones. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolving Australian psyche and cultural identity.
