PhotographerAlan FrenchDescriptionHornsby Theatre and westside shopfronts lit up in celebration of the visit to Australia of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh. This image also shows that Hornsby received a large amount of wind and rain during this time.
The wind and rain caused havoc with the Royal tour decorations all over Sydney.
Queensland and Northern NSW were experiencing devastating floods during this period and Sydney also received harrowing weather as the cyclone moved south. (see article 'Storm lashes Sydney' from the SMH)DimensionsPatricia Dewey
