A 17-year-old Prince Charles arrives in Sydney in 1966, greeted by the governor-general and Prime Minister Holt, ahead of a two-term stint at Timbertop, a remote school in central Victoria.

In this Cinesound clip, the young Royal is also seen taking a brief tour of Canberra before jetting off on a boat on his way to Victoria.

Charles was officially proclaimed King, becoming King Charles III, after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
