| Description: | Another highlight of Queen Elizabeth's Australian tour. The usual throngs line route as the Royal Couple sets fourth on a visit on perhaps the most primitive of the many peoples of the British Commonwealth. The Aborigines of the bush country. In full ceremonial regatta they dance for Her Majesty. It's the first time any woman has seen these dances. Impressive tribute to the visiting Monarch.
