Tuesday 16 October 

The Duke and Duchess' day is set to start at the Governor General's house in Kirribilli. They then are expected to heading to Taronga to get up-close to the koalas, before catching the ferry to the Opera House. Here they’ll be watching a Bangarra Dance Company rehearsal, and fingers crossed will be go for a walk along the forecourt afterwards to say hello to members of the public who just 'happen' to be in the area. The royal couple's day will wrap up back at the Governor General's house for a welcome reception. 

Thursday 18 October 

After having spent Wednesday doing their duties in Dubbo, Meghan and Harry arrive in Melbourne! From the airport they'll be heading to government house for a meet-and-greet with youth leaders for initiatives like The Man Cave and This Girl Can. You might just spot them trying to navigate the trams on their way to a social initiative providing indigenous youth training. Last stop is Port Philip Bay - if you've been planning on heading here for some baby penguin cuddles, what better day than today?
