Air route of the Queen's visit, 1954

This map was produced by the Survey Office, Department of Public Lands, Brisbane, in March 1946 and issued in conjunction with the Royal Visit, 1954. The map has been overprinted in red with details of the Royal Visit showing the route, mode of transport, distance in miles and dates of the itinerary. Although the Queen travelled more than 3000 km, her itinerary only reached as far inland as Toowoomba, with Queenslanders travelling from inland areas to see her in coastal regional cities.
