Luxury tropical island stays, quokka experiences, wine tours and opera performances are all being proposed for the king and queen's itinerary during their expected visit to Australia towards the end of the year.
The states and territories have pitched their itineraries for King Charles and Queen Camilla 's proposed visit to Australia in October.The palace is yet to formally announce the tour, which would coincide with the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Samoa in October.
"The tours have become much shorter since the 50s," she said, adding that she expected the royal couple would do a six-day tour with about three appearances a day. The couple would also travel to Lizard Island, an hour's flight north of the tropical city, where they have been offered the use of a luxury home and cottage — owned by Racing Queensland chairman Steven Wilson.
"It would suit the king's personal agenda in that it's about the environment, sustainability … and the destruction of the natural environment — that is so much in his interest." New South Wales Premier Chris Minns said a royal visit would not be complete without a trip to Sydney, the most "beautiful city on Earth"."I don't think you could really come to Australia and convince people back home that you've come to the country without coming to New South Wales, in particular Sydney," Mr Minns said.
Tourism Australia reported a 125 per cent increase in visitors from Great Britain to its website on the day of the couple's Uluru visit.Daniel Gschwind from the Griffith Institute for Tourism said it was advertising that money could not buy. "He could pay his own way. Australians are suffering at the moment from a cost-of-living crisis and we don't think that we should be footing the bill for rich international celebrities who only come to visit us every 10 years or so, for a couple of days.""I think it'd be great to see the king and queen of Australia visiting regional Australia," Mr Jeffrey said.
