Teenager Sandi Keane had bought herself a mini skirt and a pair of Baba boots, and had her hair cut into a Beatles fringe. She was in her dad's Holden, on the way to catch her first glance of the Fab Four at Melbourne's Southern Cross Hotel.
The Beatles were on the Down Under leg of their 1964 world tour. Beatlemania was in full swing and Australian crowds - unused to big international acts making it all the way to the Antipodes - didn't disappoint.
It's estimated hundreds of thousands of screaming fans lined the streets from Essendon Airport to the city centre that day, with some 15,000 waiting for them at their hotel.
