ABOVE: Part of a crowd of 10,000 acclaiming the Beatles outside the Southern Cross Hotel, Melbourne. The Beatles, who are shown on the first floor balcony, waved and clowned and said a few “hellos” into microphones, while thousands of fans screamed and yelled. LEFT: This lonely figure at Melbourne Airport is Jimmy Nicol, who was stand-in drummer for Ringo Starr at the start of the Australian tour. His services are no longer required, and he has returned to England. Not one fan turned out to see him off.
