The Day The Queen Came to Town- Mini Episode

In 2019 the Mount Gambier Library sat down with a number of older Mount Gambier residents to recorded their memories as part of the Immersive Storytelling Project. One of the very popular topics of conversation was when The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh came to Mount Gambier as apart of their Australia Tour in February 1954. To mark the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we present this mini-episode of Don't Overdue It. This episode features the voices of nine locals who were all in attendance on the day The Queen came to town. Thank you to our participants: Liz Vears, the late Albert Neal, Julienne Feast, the late Geoff Gabriel, the late Kevin Harris, Maxine Shephard, Noela Hellyer and the late Jeff Dixon ,and Jill Dixon for their stories.
