The Queen Carnival was run over the three months leading up to the jubilee, to raise funds for the development of the recreation ground. Sporting groups each chose their own nominee for the Queen's crown. The winner would be the woman whose group raised the most money. Competition was keen, and tickets were sold for fundraising events including a bazaar, a ball, and a children's party. The eventual winner, Hester Nitschke, representing rugby league, was announced at a concert on the day of the jubilee, and was crowned in a special ceremony a week later. Second place was won by Lorraine Broderick, representing cricket. Divis has posed this group on a misty day in front of cut-over bush. (ATL ref. 1/2-233150-G)
