Talk:Royal tours of Australia

Help req'd: Visit of Princess Margaret(?) in Sydney (Australia) in mid 1970s edit

Looking for help in pinning down when and which royal visited around the middle of or late 1970s.

My recollection is I was a Brownie Guide or Girl Guide. I don't think it was Princess Anne, because the visitor was most likely around Princess Margaret's age.

We were at Glengarry, the Brownie Guide and Girl Guide campsite in Turramurra, Sydney.

She might have planted a tree, and/or we might have buried a time capsule.

Anyone with a better recollection than mine?

Only reigning monarch edit

"[Queen Elizabeth II] is the only reigning monarch of Australia to have set foot on Australian soil"

Is this interpreted by most to mean "to have set foot on Australian soil while being the reigning monarch"? Or does it need updating, since Charles III has set foot on Australian soil (even though he was not the monarch at the time)? -- Chuq (talk) 05:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
