00:00It's the first visit for the King as monarch.
00:06Also the first realm he has visited as monarch.
00:09So that's history making.
00:11But of course the King knows Australia well.
00:13This is his 17th visit.
00:15He's very connected with Australia.
00:16He has his own charity here, the King's Trust Australia.
00:20And for Queen Camilla, it's her fourth visit.
00:23So it's going to be, you know, connecting with old friends, of course.
00:28He's been itching to come back to Australia.
00:31Lots of things have got in the way.
00:32There was COVID, of course, his mother's death and his own coronation.
00:38And then of course we have that health diagnosis from the King.
00:41He is still going through cancer treatment.
00:45This particular trip has had to be scaled back quite significantly.
00:48You know, we just see those two states touched there, two cities, Canberra and Sydney.
00:55I'm sure he would have liked to have visited far more widely.
