点评:I found this fascinating that the community of Avenel in 1947 planted a tree for Princess Elizabeth's 21st birthday. It was only a few years later that the Princess was to become a Queen.
Elizabeth was Queen from February 6, 1952, to September 8, 2022. In 2015 she surpassed Victoria to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
She was the first reigning monarch to visit the country - a trip which took place in 1954. On that first trip the Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh visited the ACT, New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, taking in 57 towns along the way.
At the time, the royal tour of 1954 was the single biggest event ever planned in Australia. Official printed programs stated that all those responsible for an event were to synchronise their watches with the A.B.C. time signals at 9am each day.
This is a humbling reminder of a woman who surpassed challenges and lived for the people.
翻译:1947 年,阿弗内尔社区为伊丽莎白公主 21 岁生日种植了一棵树,这让我觉得很有趣。仅仅几年后,公主就成为了女王。
伊丽莎白于1952年2月6日至2022年9月8日担任女王。2015年,她超越维多利亚,成为英国历史上在位时间最长的君主。
她是第一位访问该国的在位君主——这次旅行发生在 1954 年。在第一次访问中,女王和爱丁堡公爵访问了澳大利亚首都地区、新南威尔士州、塔斯马尼亚州、维多利亚州、昆士兰州、南澳大利亚州和西澳大利亚州,沿途经过57个城镇。
当时,1954 年的皇家巡演是澳大利亚有史以来计划的最大的一次活动。官方印刷节目称,所有负责活动的人员都必须将他们的手表与 A.B.C. 同步。每天上午 9 点发出报时信号。
这是对一位超越挑战、为人民而活的女性的谦卑提醒。
