13.01.2022 In honour of the Queen's birthday, we look back at her first visit to Ballarat. During her royal visit to Australia in 1954, a young Queen Elizabeth attended the Ballarat Begonia Festival with Mayor of Ballarat Cr. F.J. Cutts. They admired the unique floral display in the Begonia House at the Ballarat Botanical Gardens.

13.01.2022 Following our post yesterday celebrating the Queen's birthday and looking back at her visit to the Ballarat Botanical Gardens in 1954, we have been sent some beautiful images from the family of Thomas Beaumont, the curator of the Ballarat Botanical Gardens. The images feature Queen Elizabeth being introduced to Mr Thomas Beaumont, the Curator of the Gardens and his wife, Lilias.
