00:01A chance to meet a Queen and fellow Tasmanian. Hundreds gathered on Hobart's waterfront,
00:08bearing flags, flowers, gifts, even royal tattoos.
00:13I might get a Danish. You never know, it might do.
00:16Everyone wanting an up-close encounter with Denmark's King and Queen.
00:21I'm shaking, I saw them.
00:23It was amazing.
00:24The day began at Government House with a welcome from Aboriginal leaders.
00:32Before a trip down the Derwent, taking Queen Mary past her old high school.
00:38Some good memories popped up.
00:40The couple stopped for a snap with some sea creatures.
00:45Then headed to Tasmanian shipbuilder Inkat, which is making electric ferries for a Danish customer.
00:53It's like no other state visit I've covered with the royal couple.
00:57This is just so different.
01:00They are so at ease here, they feel at home, they are relaxed.
01:04There was a quick lunch break at a Tasmanian cooking school,
01:07before the couple mixed with art royalty at the Museum of Old and New Art.
01:15Tasmania is the last stop of the Royal Tour after visits to Uluru, Canberra and Melbourne.
01:21And it's the first time the couple have visited the state on an official basis
01:25since becoming King and Queen of Denmark.
01:29From a street walk to a reception at Government House.
01:32It has been extremely touching for both Frederick and I to feel so much warmth and interest.
01:42So thank you for making our time here unforgettable.
01:46Final words on a packed Australian tour.
01:48We'll see you next time.
01:50You
