- Summary
- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: The Queen Goes Walk About (In Colour). DESCRIPTION: Alice Springs, at the geographical centre of the continent is a surprisingly modern town. Traeger Park was the centre of the town’s welcome. There was a crowd of 3,000, who turned out to see and welcome the Royal visitors. Alice, is fast becoming a tourist centre, and its picturesque surroundings are reflected in pictures by Aboriginal artists. Famous too for the Royal Flying Doctor Service - the unique plane and radio network covering thousands of square miles. The Queen and Prince Philip saw for themselves some of the effects of the drought at a cattle station, 50 miles from Alice. They also watched Aboriginal stockmen working a herd of beef-cattle.
