A garbled account notes a verbal win to Whitlam at a reception, mentioning a former prime minister and a grand audience, with unclear phrases about the queen and attendees. The readable portions emphasize a notable exchange and a ceremonious mood surrounding the event.
The Queen in a white evening dress and tiara reviewed 1600 servicemen and women drawing 10 000 spectators at Parliament House Canberra. The event marked the opening of Parliament with a 10 minute speech and a 2 gun Royal artillery salute. The parade featured a mix of rotary and propeller aircraft, military bands, and guest attendees including invited guests and demonstrators supporting the New Independence Movement. The Queen and Privy Council proceedings preceded a march past toward Crawford Street and Monast Street en route to Fairbairn RAAF Base for Brisbane travel.
