00:00We can still expect an awful lot from the King and Queen. It is a
00:06packed schedule. They are taking the day off today, resting after
00:09that long flight from the UK. Tomorrow we will see the King and
00:14Queen at church in Sydney. There is a late addition to that, that the
00:21public can turn out to see them at the church. The details for that
00:26are all on the government website. Anyone who is out there in North
00:30Sydney, I suggest you head along to St Thomas' Church. Then on Monday
00:36they head to Canberra. This is the big one with that parliamentary
00:41reception hosted by the Prime Minister that we have heard so much
00:46about already. There are going to be a lot of people there. There is
00:49going to be a big ceremonial welcome outside that. Members of the
00:53public can gather to watch that ceremonial welcome. I think it is
00:58going to be quite something. Before that, they will be heading to the
01:03War Memorial. Again, there is a meet-and-greet there. There are
01:06opportunities, as well as on that final day, Tuesday, where the King
01:11and Queen will be back in Sydney, on that final day there will be the
01:15opportunity at the Opera House. There are other opportunities for the
01:18public to meet the King and Queen. The King wants to do as much as
01:22possible. Usually, his tours are packed from the minute he gets here
01:27to the minute he leaves. We don't have any evening engagements, for
01:31instance. I am sure that was at the Doctor's request. We only got two
01:36states on this tour, the ACT and New South Wales. Again, I am sure that
01:42was the Doctor's request. We don't have New Zealand attached to this
01:46tour. I think we are very fortunate that the King has come at all, but I
01:52know he has been very eager to come for a long time. The last time he
01:55came was in 2018. For him, this is a long-awaited trip.
