- 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."
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!
The Australia I grew up with. Oh how I loved it and miss it now.
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
Peaches, tomatoes and fruits sure aren't tasting like they used to.
Not a pair of sweatpants in the lot! Australia 1954, I love you!
WHAT an amazing gesture by the people of AUSTRALIA fantastic
She is so young there.Watching From Canada.
A fantastic document, very worthwhile and an enduring testament to the warmth and affection of her Australian people. Thanks so much for making this available ❤
A wonderful film-a world gone for ever.
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
She is an utter class act.
No Monarch will receive a reception in Australia like this again.
Long live the monarchy 🇬🇧
Superb document...A beautiful presentation and account of HM & HRH The Prince Philip R.I.P. to Australia....hear with pleasure the voice of Prince Philip reading the Lesson .... and be humble and be proud for the Man in our midst for two generations bless him, and bless HM too....right and real pleasure to the excellent vocal tones of the narrator....alas, they don’t breed ´em like that today - they’re so full of the commonplace and vulgar swear words - aye three of ‘em to a five word sentence....!
R.I.P queen we will all miss you
The Queen of Australia
Queen of the United Kingdom no such thing as Queen Of Australia
@georgepato6008 At the time of her death, she was Queen of 15 independent nations. She was as much Queen of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Jamaica etc as she was Queen of the United Kingdom.
Amazing footage. Thanks so much for uploading it. If u find anything similar from the Commonwealth realms then please upload them too.
What a brave Queen, what a great couple The Queen and Prince Phillip! ❤️
Australians are phenomenal people.👍
Australian are a few amazing people
I don't know what I want to say - I just feel the beautiful moment in history, beautiful day, beautiful Queen 👑, beautiful soul, beautiful people, and country - beautiful memories to share - thank you.
This was the time gone by
It’s a vision of Australia of a bygone age, which is sadly missed.
She really is the greatest world leader.
THE QUEEN IS GREAT IN CANADA, AUSTRALIA, AND NEW ZEALAND
Wonderful view of yesteryear with a message that still resounds with the Australian people.
I watched this because of The Crown but woooooowwwww
Glad you enjoyed. Footage from this documentary has been used in The Crown several times.
So sad that HRH Prince Philip has died - what an extraordinary double act. But, there's a time for everything & everyone & the important thing it was a life well lived.
My god what has happened to to our beautiful country 😔🇦🇺🦘
Australia has lost its way I shed tears for what once was god bless Australia 🇦🇺
Yes we have lost so much.
@ekhangel over populated box ticking. Everyone gets offended at everything. Takes ages to build anything. Where’s do you want me to start. We barely make anything here any more.
Queen For Ever
Long live the monarchy 🏴🇬🇧
Boy …..haven’t we lost our way as a nation as a strong proud and free people home of the Anzac…breaks my heart 😢
The standard of curtsying has certainly dropped off since this time
Such an interesting historial film, It's of a great historical value. Today is 17 January 2024 and the Queen passed away less than two years ago. DEP
Prince Phillip died yesterday. From the TV reports, he sounds like an OK, down to earth kind of a guy!
The Queen actually Knighted a kangaroo on this trip ---- I dub thee, Sir Hoppsalott...
That won't go down well with the Emus.
@@NFSAFilms I have so many questions
long live the queen 👸
Long live the queen
Priscilla
You know what? Now in 2019 everyone is so adamant about being equal to each other and that no commonwealth realm is superior to one another that we should just make all of the realms (UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada) dominions of the Queen and have the Queen adopt the new unified title of Elizabeth II by the grace of god of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and The United Kingdom (In alphabetical order), Queen, head of the commonwealth, defend of the faith.
Yes, but a lot of the froggies 🐸 want out.
Rip queen
Practically, all the British names of the UK monarchy or places are found in Singapore...e.g. Balmoral etc.. etc...etc.
This Australia is different than the present Australia.
"A Queen WE HAVE NEVER SEEN" - sounds like there's an underlying message.
And what is that Israel?
Excellent
The Crown S4 brought me here
29:48 - VC holder.
RIP
How far we have fallen
very true we have far more technology, wealth, opportunity and in terms of morals, dignity, class looks like we have lost it all.
Rip 🙏
WAIT, queen elizabeth sounds like what a queen should sound like imao.
Her voice is annoying
LONG LIVE "QUEEN MOTHER ELIZABETH".
A little history here. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh came to Australia by an ocean liner. I wonder where they docked but my best bet: New South Wales.
Future tours of Australia the royals travel by airplane.
They used the Royal Yacht Britannia until 1997. The British government has commissioned another Yacht, primarily for trade but it may be used for future tours.
watching from BeIrut ,Lebanon
I am sure I own the coronation presentation axe that was awarded at the Wagga wood chop
The oily commentary probably was intended not to disturb the commercial audiences whom the film was intended to reach, and did. It is so alike to US and UK commercial styles that an overseas distributor could pick it up without a worry.
Australian actor the late Peter Finch did half of the commentary.
Very normal for the 50s
Neat joke by the editor at the start: the cannon seems to fire at the royal yacht.
Blanks !!
i saw that
Only blanks fired
This film reminded me of an alternate universe in which America was first settled in 1788. Plus kangaroos.
World need royal family
Colonial slaves (disgrace)
I wonder how much she won on the horses ? 34:18
Welcome the queen
did he just call it pitiful Perth at 10:05 Nice jab at poor old Perth for no reason other than an easy P-P rhyme haha
"Hospitable Perth"
the 1950s was when her royal highness was in her prime.

🌏king George world respect respected world wide ultimate ampire 🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏Queen Elizabeth mostly worm welcoming to Australia Sydney to keep updated on time for the most of it.
What's the title of the song? 59:36
our blue flag is becoming popular
I hope Australia doesn't become a republic after the reign of Queen Elizabeth II ends. The system works well and if its not broken why tinker with it like Tony Blair did with the House of Lords.
Queen. Check & Mate. in South Extension
Vim por the crown👊
If you got out into the bush, a lot this is still the same..
I don't recognise this country.
The past was a nicer place.
@@Patrick3183
The past is a foreign country.Things are made differently there.
from The Go Between.
Australia's Queen is Priscilla the Queen of the Desert :-))
And to think Australia could have become a republic rubbish
Lucky we aren't. I cant think of one successful republic except of India a commonwealth country.
The Republic of America have shot dead 4 presidents and shot at or wounded others.
The Republic of Singapore...
A republic is a fallacy in the real world... long live the monarchy 🇬🇧
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I don't see no rows of empty paid for seats around the Queen lol
So I take it she didn't go to Darwin or Alice springs?
Canberra I think.
Yeah she went to Darwin
@@bigt9353 thanks that wasn't mentioned in this video, if it was I missed it.
From wikipedia: " In all, 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""

Disappointing, I thought this was gunna be about Alan Jones....
I would have taken as many children as I could.
I think i am more of a republican after watching this, which i'm sure was not the film's intention. Having Australians pouring so much attention to a person who lives on the other side of the world seems bizarre. A wonderful snapshot of history nonetheless.
Interesting how often a propaganda film will backfire on itself over time.
heritage thats why
Australians likes it and her in 1954 and still do. Yes a great view of Australia in 1954 when I was not quite 2 years old.
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.
there are a few people here who are whiter than the queen herself
Freedom for Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc from British oppression!
So thats why Aussies hate us,I would never go to Australia
From China 🇨🇳 communism
You sound a little repressed yourself...
The head slaver
She still snatches children for Phillip and Andrew.
:o yikes, you sure have a grudge to bear!
Except that a complete lie.
Excellent
