    I have found this slightly larger image:


    Caption (from Getty Images): 18th March 1963: Queen Elizabeth II using a Flying Doctor Service radio to address the people of Alice Springs, Australia during a visit to the town's flying doctor base. (Photo by Central Press/Getty Images)

    I think the brooch is the Cullinan V diamond brooch, very frequently worn by the Queen throughout her life.
