145 Minutes in Wagga: The 1954 Royal Tour

18 FEBRUARY 2014

The Charles Sturt University (CSU) Regional Archives is commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Queen's visit to Wagga Wagga on 13 February 1954 with an exhibition of records from the Royal Tour by Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. The records include photographs, commemorative items, and a 15 minute film of the visit. Archives Manager, Mr Wayne Doubleday, said, "145 Minutes in Wagga: The 1954 Royal Tour reflects on the huge impact the visit made on the city and the large crowds that turned out from across the Riverina to catch a glimpse of the Royal couple's short, but action-packed tour of Wagga Wagga." The exhibition is open until Monday 31 March in the foyer of the University's Regional Archives, Blakemore Building, South Campus, College Avenue in Wagga Wagga. The Archives is open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Further information is available on the Archives' blog, On Record, here.
