The Queen and Prince will visit Australia and New Zealand for about four weeks during Canberra's Jubilee Year. They plan to travel to each State with a mid February arrival in Canberra and a March 12 Jubilee in Australia. Exact dates and arrival point were not fixed. State ball banquets and youth events may be organized, with a more informal itinerary than in 1954.
Canberra prepares for a royal visit to mark the jubilee year with a royal tour director to plan celebrations in the ACT and states. Officials note 1964 completion dates for major projects and large-scale events including a state ball and youth function.
The itinerary allows longer rest periods after a strenuous mid summer tour. The Queen aims to tour inland Australia and may travel between Sydney and Melbourne on the Southern Aurora. She probably opens Parliament in Canberra in February or March. Prince Philip will visit to open the Commonwealth Games in Perth late November and attend a parliamentary dinner in Canberra.
Canberra organisations rushed to plan a Royal Visit next year within hours of the announcement. Proposals include a national RSL ball and the Queen opening the new £100,000 Lyneham racecourse. The Can berra City sub branch meeting discussed inviting the Queen and a monster programme for the tour.
