Love it, what a fantastic display!The Sydney Opera House with a special light display to welcome the King and the Queen.

How smart of her to take a few days to adjustMy understanding is that the King & Queen met in Singapore, and were picked by a RAAF plane there. The Queen travelled to Asia ahead of the King. My guess is she had a few days at the health farm in Bangalore that she likes to visit at this time of the year in advance of the trip.
The ABC has released an "unofficial" guide on seeing The King and Queen. It's unofficial, because the full itinerary are not made in public. The news website did mention that The King and Queen will greet the crowd in Canberra on the 21st and Sydney on the 22nd.
Here's where you can catch a glimpse of Charles and Camilla in Australia
Coincidentally, on the first day of visit, 18th October, Cunard's MS Queen Elizabeth will arrive at the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay and depart later in the evening. There are other cruise ships stopping at Sydney Harbour for the next couple of days, including Disney, Carnival, Princess, Celebrity and P&O Australia.

Thanks for sharing this - wow! I also read the comments and Australians were very critical of their premiers who turned down the invitation to meet with KCIII. Several said it was “disrespectful”. And one person said it was a reminder to keep what they have (the monarchy) and not give those elected officials any more power than they already have - was very interesting read!Love it, what a fantastic display!
