The biggest news of the year, the decade, and arguably the century was the visit of the newly-crowned Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince of Edinburgh to Bundaberg. March 11 that year was proclaimed a public holiday for the occasion. A crowd of 10,000 greeted the Royals at the airport. Then 30,000 people, at places 20-deep, lined the procession route from the hospital through the CBD and finishing at the old showgrounds. Once there, the Royals spent 15 minutes driving up and down lanes of 8000 screaming, flag-waving children. The city's oldest woman, Ellen Clarry, who'd turned 100 the previous August, was invited along with her daughter, Mrs T. Broom, who she lived with, to meet the monarch. All up, 70,000 people were thought to have turned out for a brush with the Royals. About 5000 caught trains from other areas so they could be in Rum City.

Bundaberg Court House was designed by George St Paul Connolly, acting Queensland Colonial Architect in the Queensland Department of Public Works. Connolly joined the Department in 1872 and worked on both public and private buildings, under the direction of Colonial Architect F.D.G. Stanley. The Bundaberg Court House followed the "T" shape design developed during the nineteenth century. The major consideration in the design and planning of the Bundaberg Court House was the allowance for the correct movement of people in the building and the separation of the different groups involved in the judicial process. The verandahs at the rear of the building allowed for specifically delineated entrances to the buildings. Jurors and barristers entered the courthouse by an alternative route to the public on their way to the public spaces. The judges had a private entrance and lobby via the rear verandah. The prisoners would be brought directly from the police cells to the courtroom through the side verandah door, from the nearby police reserve.
