Royals visit Australia's iconic Uluru landmark
- 10 years ago
William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge traveled to Uluru, one of Australia's most iconic landmarks, as part of their Antipodean tour.
Before touring the site, the royal couple visited the National Indigenous Training Academy to present recent hospitality and catering graduates with certificates.
The royal couple were presented with an Aboriginal spear, made from mulga wood and bound with kangaroo tendons.
William joked that he might have problems taking it through customs.
Prince George did not accompany his mother and father on this stage of the tour. He stayed in Canberra with his nanny.
The duke and duchess also went on a brief walkabout, meeting well-wishers -- some who had driven for hours to see them and others, children from one of the local schools.
The royal couple were welcomed by the chief Minister of Northern Territory before they viewed an indigenous art display and enjoyed afternoon tea.
