Queen’s Thanks for Territory Gifts

THE Queen has conveyed her thanks to the Administrators of Northern Territory, Norfolk Island, Papua-New Guinea and Nauru for the gifts presented to her at Canberra on February 10.

The gifts were an album of photographs encased in a casket of polished wood; and a small table with map of P-NG inlaid in wood on top. There was some doubt as to whether Her Maesjty could ac cept the table as the album was the “official” gift, and it remained behind on the dais after the Terri tories function was over. However, rules were waived in this case, and the table was accepted also.
