In this photo print, we witness a significant moment in history as Mr J A Lyons, the Australian Premier, prepares to embark on his journey back home. After attending the Coronation and Imperial Conference, Mr Lyons boards the majestic Imperial Airways flying boat Challenger at Rochester for Amsterdam. His return trip to Australia includes stops at various European destinations such as The Hague, Brussels, and war graves in France and Belgium. Additionally, he plans to pay homage to fallen soldiers at the Australian War Memorial in Villers Bretonneux. The image captures a poignant scene of Mr Lyons standing in the doorway of the Challenger just before departure. With determination etched across his face and an air of anticipation surrounding him, it is evident that this voyage holds great significance for both himself and his nation. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of an important political figure's journey but also provides us with a glimpse into an era between two world wars - a time marked by immense change and uncertainty.
