Australian and Canadian Tours
My notes are really a mess refering to those trips.
I will be very greatful if you could help me to put my photos in order (places they visit, date and what dress what diana wearing). I know this could be hard work!!! Thanks.;) |
The tour to Australia/New Zealand was a really long one (almost one & a half months) so there should be lots of fun pictures!
I guess this is the start of the Down Under tour. On the evening of March 18 1983, Charles & Diana leave Heathrow airport. Photo: Photographers International http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7...ointis6.th.jpg |

Beautiful pics, gfg02! I'd never seen some of them before.
Do you know if they started canadian tour this day? |
This Australian and New Zealand tour was one of those old fashioned royal tours which takes forever. I cannot imagine how hard it must have been for such a young family to be away from home. I love that picture though, it is a nice trip down memory lane.

I agree Christo's Girl - the Australian/New Zealand tour must have been a big challenge, especially to Diana. It was her first major tour & it was basically a 'baptism by fire'. A month & a half is a long time to be always "on show". We haven't seen a tour like this since from the younger members of the British RF, I don't think. They are probably a thing of the past.
Pilar, the dates for the Canadian tour are from June 14 to July 1 1983 - much shorter than the Australian/NZ tour. |
March 20 1983 Arriving in Alice Springs for the start of the Australian trip
http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/9...hamzrp9.th.jpg According to the London Times, after stepping off the plane, Diana spent four hours lounging by the pool at the home of a local businessman. She then went back to her hotel for a nap. Then she & Charles visited areas of flood damage in Alice Springs. Finally they attended a press reception. (I don't think we'll see pics from any of these events?).

Those were wonderful pictures that I doubt many have seen before, I know I haven't. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the pictures.
|
wonderful pics! thx
|
Thanks for those pics, the boys and Diana looked so relaxed.
|

Thank you very much for the pictures. It is so poignant to see the wonderful moments she shares with her boys. I wonder if they remember this day. She would be very proud of the way they have turned out.
|
I remember that Canadian visit. I believe it was the last time Diana ever visited Canada. Atleast it was full of good memories with her children.
|
you're right christo...she only visited canada twice. the first visit was early in the marriage although i'm not sure of the dates.
|
Diana visited Canada 3 times.
1983, 1986, and 1991. |
We have a thread "Australian and Canadian Tour 1983", with just 8 posts. The Niagara Falls thread has 11 posts, 5 of which are "thanks for the pics" posts.
To bring the common material together I'll merge the two threads, and rename it "Australian & Canadian Tours". Warren British Forums moderator |
