Hopefully, the King's schedule in Australia and Samoa won’t be too demanding. I’m sure his doctors or advisors have carefully assessed the trip to ensure his health and well-being are prioritized.

Fantastic news! It really seems like we are entering a period of normality again in the British Royal Family, with The King and The Princess of Wales gradually returning to the status quo. God willing.

It is a pity that there couldn't be even a brief stop over in NZ.

It's only three hours across the ditch.

My understanding is that the trip, as envisaged, did include time in NZ. However, on medical advice for HM, it was decided to scale back. Let us not forget the King is still receiving treatment for cancer. I have no doubt that a trip to NZ will be scheduled as soon as it is safe for HM to visit.

Details of the itinerary have been released letting the general public, in both Canberra and Sydney, know when and where they will be able to see the Royal Couple … times of road closures and entry points/security screening etc.

The Tuesday in Sydney sounds good with Charles and Camilla boarding a boat at the Opera House’ Man O’ War Steps to sail about amongst five Navy ships which will be on the Harbour.

The Airforce, Army and Navy will conduct a fly-over during this Review.

We will probably get fireworks in the evening off Admiralty House … a few streets away from me … as we get them at the oddest times.

Any official in town seems to get a fireworks display, so I’m expecting that is why this is so late in the day … going from the review to Admiralty House by boat for a Reception/Dinner.

This VIP Naval vessel, the Admiral Hudson, doesn’t look as impressive as the many, many private boats here in Sydney though.

Maybe some of those will join in and add to the fun.
