Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla have concluded an historic visit to Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Royal visit was The King\u2019s first visit to Australia as Sovereign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It showcased the very best of modern Australia, including our strong communities, scientific innovation and rich cultural diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Canberra, Their Majesties honoured fallen Australians at the Australian War Memorial, visited Parliament House and learned more about Australia\u2019s unique environment and the impact of climate change on our ecosystems at the National Botanic Gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spectacular Fleet Review of the Royal Australian Navy, the visit to the Sydney Opera House and the community barbecue in Western Sydney were highlights of Their Majesties\u2019 Sydney visit, and gave them the opportunity to meet a wide range of Australians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The King and Queen\u2019s visit focused attention on important work being done in our community to improve the lives of everyday Australians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The King met the Australians of the Year at the ground-breaking Melanoma Institute, and met Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community representatives to hear about a range of community projects at the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence. The King also visited a sustainable NSW Homes community housing project which will soon provide 75 affordable homes to people in Sydney\u2019s inner-west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Queen assisted volunteers at OzHarvest to prepare meals and spent time hearing from women\u2019s safety advocates about their vital work at Government House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To mark the Royal visit, the Australian Government made a $10,000 national contribution to Greening Australia on behalf of all Australians. Greening Australia is a national not-for-profit committed to restoring Australia\u2019s diverse landscapes and protecting biodiversity in ways that benefit communities, economies, and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was an honour to welcome The King and Queen to Australia for this historic visit, the first by a Sovereign since Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTheir Majesties met a range of extraordinary Australians who demonstrated the best of our great country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI look forward to meeting The King again in Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
