Sir Robert Menzies welcoming Princess Marina to Australia and hosting her state visit, 26-28 September 1964
The first clip has Princess Marina, the dowager Duchess of Kent, briefly stopping over for 15 minutes at Sydney's Kingsford-Smith Airport and meeting with NSW Governor Sir Eric Woodward, as well as William McMahon. This is then followed by Princess Marina arriving at Canberra's Fairbairn Airport later the same day, where she was welcomed by Menzies and Governor-General Lord De L'Isle. Later during her stay in Canberra, Princess Marina is shown visiting the Australian War Memorial, before going to the inauguration of the new Department of Defence headquarters and officially opening the building along with Menzies, who also spoke on the occasion.
