00:00A chance to meet a Queen and fellow Tasmanian.
00:03Hundreds gathered on Hobart's waterfront, bearing flags, flowers, gifts, even royal tattoos.
00:11Might get a Danish. You never know, might do.
00:14Everyone wanting an up-close encounter with Denmark's King and Queen.
00:19I'm shaking, I saw them.
00:21It was amazing!
00:23The day began at Government House with a welcome from Aboriginal leaders.
00:30Before a trip down the Derwent, taking Queen Mary past her old high school.
00:36Some good memories popped up.
00:38The couple stopped for a snap with some sea creatures.
00:43Then headed to Tasmanian shipbuilder Inkat, which is making electric ferries for a Danish customer.
00:51It's like no other state visit I've covered with the royal couple.
00:55This is just so different.
00:57They are so at ease here, they feel at home, they are relaxed.
01:01There was a quick lunch break at a Tasmanian cooking school before the couple mixed with art royalty at the
01:08Museum of Old and New Art.
01:13Tasmania is the last stop of the royal tour after visits to Uluru, Canberra and Melbourne.
01:19And it's the first time the couple have visited the state on an official basis since becoming King and Queen
01:25of Denmark.
01:26From a street walk to a reception at Government House.
01:30It has been extremely touching for both Frederick and I to feel so much warmth and interest.
01:39So thank you for making our time here unforgettable.
01:43Final words on a packed Australian tour.
02:10What about Hobart?
02:12They're Australians too, I know, but it's a special thing.
02:23So exciting kids.
02:25It's not like a highlight of your life.
