00:04G'day Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen. It is obviously great to be back in Australia and especially even more so.
00:12This is my wife's first visit here so I'm very excited to show her this incredible country of yours.
00:19Perhaps not Kangaroo Flats military training area in Darwin though.
00:25You'll also notice that we had a roof on our boat earlier after last year's downfall and luckily Sydney is
00:32suddenly shining today so thank you for organising the weather.
00:35We started off well today with some sleeping koalas or drop bears as some of them all know.
00:42Sydney Harbour, the Bangoa dancers who are absolutely fantastic, the Opera House and the Ad Norton House.
00:49We're looking forward to going to Dubbo tomorrow to meet those farmers and their families who have been hit by
00:56this drought.
00:57I am particularly grateful to the Australian Government for hosting the Invictus Games which the whole country has embraced with
01:04great enthusiasm.
01:06Thank you so much for all of the support.
01:09Australia is of course home to some of the world's best sporting talent but what you are about to see
01:15during these Invictus Games will quite literally astound you.
01:19A demonstration of the power of the human spirit, the power of sports to change lives and the power of
01:26feeling part of all of this from the stands.
01:29And there really is something for everyone.
01:33Thank you to your ecstasy and Lady Cosgrove for giving us your magnificent home for the week.
01:38We're inviting all of our mates in Sydney, including you guys.
01:45And finally, we're both absolutely delighted to be here and really impressed to see you serving beer and tea at
01:53Mark's own reception.
01:54It's really Aussie style.
01:57We genuinely thank you for the incredibly warm welcome and the chance to meet so many Aussies for more walks
02:03of life.
02:04And we also genuinely couldn't think of a better place to announce the upcoming baby.
02:13So thank you very, very much.
02:19Thank you very, very much.
