Prince Harry starts his gap year
Prince Harry is on his way to Australia to start his Gap Year.
The 19-year-old Prince, who plans to joins the Army and Enrol for Officer training at Sandhurst, is scheduled to stay Down Under for three months.
Sports-mad Harry has timed his trip well and is expected to cheer on the home countries in the Rugby World Cup which kicks off in Australia next month.
He is also likely to indulge his other passion and play polo, probably for Australian Tycoon Kerry Packer's team.
Harry has already captioned a Young England Team and could do so again at Millamolong,New South Wales, in a special Ambrassador's cup match.
Armed officers from Scotland Yard's Royalty protection branch are traveling with the Prince and, given the countinuing worldwide terrorist alert and the recent breach of security at his brother's 21st birthday party in Windsor Castle, will not want to let Harry out of their sight.
The bill to protect the Royals youngster in Australia is reportedly $600,000 aka as British pounds of 600,000.
Prince Harry, who got a B grade in art A-level at Eton, exhibited Aboriginal-style paintings at the exclusives boarding school.
While receiving critical acclaim at home, the paintings were branded "cultural theft" by prominent Aboriginals.

Prince Harry passes Army assessment
Prince Harry has cleared the first hurdle towards enrolling at the elite Sandhurst Military Academy but could wait a further year before signing up for the Army.
As the 19-year-old Prince heads for Australia at the start of what could now be a double gap year, royal officials said he had passed the Army's Pre-Regular Commissions Board assessment with flying colours.
But if he passes the full selection board, Harry may decide not to start at Sandhurst until September 2005.
"Prince Harry has successfully passed his Pre-RCB with a Category 1 pass and is hoping to start training at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, in the next two years," said Clarence House.
Most of the 700 recruits accepted for Sandhurst each year are graduates and therefore aged at least 21. It is thought Harry could be too young at 20 should he be selected for next year's intake and could benefit from delaying his entry.
Prince Harry got a B in art and a D in geography in his A levels - reportedly the worst in his year at Eton. But he excelled as a leader of Eton's cadet corps and has evidently impressed the Army's top brass.
Royal aides said the teenager would spend the first of a possible two years off on a "structured programme" of activities, starting in Australia where he is due to land at Sydney airport tomorrow.
"We have worked out a programme for the Prince up to next summer," said a Clarence House spokeswoman. "But there are also thoughts about what he would do if he does an additional gap year."
The initial leg of his first gap year in Australia will allow Harry to indulge his twin passions for polo and rugby.
As well as playing polo during his three-month stay Down Under, he will watch England and the other home countries bid to lift the Rugby World Cup which kicks off in Australia next month.
Details of his work programme are due to be announced by Clarence House tomorrow at an official royal photocall in Sydney.

22 SEPTEMBER 2003
Just prior to jetting off to Australia to begin his gap year, Prince Harry said goodbye to his brother Prince William and his closest pals with a bar-hopping jaunt in London.
The red-haired royal and his clique began at Chelsea's So Bar – owned by friend Mark Dyer – before heading to the trendy Purple nightclub. While Prince William was spotted leaving the hotspot at around 2.45am, it's unknown at what time little brother Harry called it a night.
Nineteen-year-old Prince Harry will arrive in Sydney on Monday to kick off his gap year, marking the start of his post-Eton life. Prince Charles' younger son will be spending three months down under, where he's expected to stay on a ranch, watch the rugby World Cup and show off his sporting side as he captains the Young England polo team at the Ambassador's Cup.
"The Prince is very much looking forward to it," said a spokesperson for the Prince of Wales. The private visit, which is Harry's first trip abroad without his father, will include just one official duty – a photo call in front of Sydney Harbour bridge this week.

Prince Harry files into controversy down under
Australian politicians are furious that taxpayers in the country are paying the $300,000 to guard Prince Harry during his gap year.
The Prince is following a path beaten by thousands of backpackers each year, but will be shadowed by British security agents backed by Australian officers.
Kevin Rudd, opposition Labor Party foreign affairs spokesman, said he had no problem with the government footing the bill if the Prince was going to do charity work.
"But if it is just a bit of a jaunt, I think maybe we should look carefully at the cost-sharing arrangements with the British governament on this, because it's a lot of money," he said.
Exactly what the 19-year-old will do on his trip is a not known.
Speculation centres on cheering England at the Rugby World Cup due to start next month, playing polo and possibly visiting a remote aboriginal settlement.
Such a visit could stir-up emotion in the underprivileged indigenous population. Harry recently was accused by some Aborigines of "cultural theft" for using scared indigenous images in his paintings without permission.
Tourism minister Joe Hockey dismissed Labor's objections to the cost of guarding the Prince and said Prince Harry's visit would be a major boost for tourism.
"We would have to spend five times that amount of money to get the same positive publicity for Australia in the United Kingdom," Hockey said.
"It sends a fantastic message... that the most desirable place in the world for a young Brit is Australia," he added.

Prince Harry strokes a wallaby joey during a photocall at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, Tuesday September 23, to mark the start of his gap year. The younger son of the Prince of Wales is going on to spend time in the outback learning about farming and agriculture on various cattle stations where he will be mustering cattle and sheep on horseback and working as a jackeroo.

Prince Harry gets work as a jackaroo
Posted Tue, 23 Sep 2003
http://iafrica.com/news/worldnews/272892.htm
Prince Harry posed for pictures with a koala at Sydney's zoo on Tuesday, hours after jetting into Australia for a three-month stay during his gap year before military college.
"He's not too sure about you lot," Harry told photographers, as he tried to give the koala instructions to look at the cameras.
Prince Charles' second son, third in line to the British throne, arrived at Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport shortly after 5am on a British Airways flight from London.
He was whisked away by security officials, but re-emerged a few hours later for what is officially his only media event during the private trip.
As well as the koala, he met an echidna and a joey, or baby kangaroo, and chatted to zoo staff and schoolchildren, shaking their hands.
Wearing a wide-brimmed bush hat, white slacks, a blue open necked shirt and a grey blazer, the 19-year-old prince looked happy amid the relaxed security, although his minders kept watch a short distance away.
"We love you Harry and William, Diana, the lot," said one female admirer.
British businessman Michael Abbott, who sat across the aisle from the prince in first class during his flight, said he had a brief chat with him, but Harry gave little away about his plans for his trip.
"He's a very friendly guy, he was chatting with the flight attendants," Abbott said.
"He stayed up the whole night, reading, watching movies. He was pretty relaxed and pretty happy to be down here."
During his trip, Harry will work as a jackaroo at cattle and sheep stations. According to a spokesperson for his father's office, Harry will be "paid the going rate".
He is also expected to barrack for favourites England during next month's Rugby World Cup.
Harry was keen to learn about indigenous animals and wanted to visit Australia because he had heard about it from his father, the spokesperson said. He will return to Britain to spend Christmas at home.
The start of the trip has been marred somewhat, however, by controversy in Australia over the cost of the prince's security, costing the Australian taxpayer some AUS$600 000 (US$400 000).
Many Australians favour a republic, although the idea was rejected in a 1999 referendum.
The Australian Tourist Commission on Tuesday weighed into the debate on the government's side, saying the prince's visit and next month's Rugby World Cup were bringing publicity for Australia in Britain to its highest levels since the Sydney Olympics of 2000.

Prince Harry arrives for three-month stay

PRINCE Harry looked every inch the professional royal today as he came face to face with wildlife at the only public engagement of his Australian visit.
The 19-year-old prince smiled and posed for the cameras with a koala, echidna and joey at Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
He appeared relaxed and confident during the carefully staged event.
He was presented with an Aussie bush hat, which at one stage he tried for size on the koala, gaining a round of applause from several hundred onlookers.
He feigned a grimace and rung his hands after holding a spiny quilled echidna.
He patted the joey and at one stage tried to give the koala instructions to look at the battery of cameras recording his every move.
"He's not too sure about you lot," the prince joked with photographers.
Prince Harry, who is in Australia for three months during his so-called gap year before starting military college can expect to see many more Australian animals during his stay.
He will be working as a jackaroo at unspecified cattle and sheep stations.
According to a spokeswoman for his father Prince Charles' office, Prince Harry will be "paid the going rate".
The spokeswoman said he was keen to learn about indigenous animals as well as agriculture and farming.

One of his female admirers yelled out to him: "We love you Harry and William, Diana, the lot."
Security appeared to be extremely low key.
The prince's plain clothes minders were in evidence but the photo shoot was freely open to any members of the public who happened to wander by.
Media and onlookers were not checked or vetted at any stage.

Harry says g'day to life Down Under
By Nick Squires in Sydney(LondonNews)
(Filed: 24/09/2003)
Prince Harry will spend the next three months working as a £100-a-week "jackeroo" on remote sheep and cattle stations in the Australian Outback, mustering on horseback and battling heat and flies.
Prince Harry meets the locals
The 19-year-old prince, who arrived in Australia on Monday at the start of his gap year between Eton and the Army, will watch England play in next month's Rugby World Cup and hopes to take part in at least one polo match.
Working on Australia's sprawling ranches, some the size of English counties, will test the prince's riding skills to the full. As a junior stockman his duties are likely to include rounding up livestock in thick scrub, branding animals and chores such as fencing.
The exact location of the ranches remains a closely guarded secret.
Just hours after touching down in Sydney, Prince Harry looked nervous as he arrived for a 16-minute photocall with a menagerie of koalas, possums and a wallaby at the city's Taronga Zoo, with Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House providing a spectacular backdrop.
Politicians complaining at the cost of the prince's security while in Australia had threatened a prickly reception. However, an echidna named Spike was his only difficult encounter.
The prince winced as he grappled with the animal and yelped: "It's pretty feisty."
A group of around 60 schoolchildren and well-wishers vied for the prince's attention, with sisters Brooke and Jessica Brims, aged 17 and 15, asking him for a kiss. He turned down the request but held on to their telephone number.
Prince Harry, given a traditional felt bushman's hat by zoo staff, declined to talk to journalists. But Colleen Harris, press secretary to the Prince of Wales, said: "He's trying to broaden his experiences and learn about life."
Asked if he would have time to go to the pub, she replied: "It would be nice, now and again, to sample Australian hospitality - so I hope he has some fun as well as working hard."
Republicans in Australia are unhappy about the estimated £240,000 cost of back-up for the prince's own close protection team.
One newspaper noted yesterday that while Prince Harry "seems our kind of bloke, fond of a beer with his pals", Australians would be "less than ecstatic" at subsidising his security arrangements.
Government ministers and the Australian Tourist Commission argued that the visit was worth millions of pounds in raising Australia's tourism profile. Prince Harry is expected to return to Britain for Christmas after which he will decide whether to attend the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, next autumn or defer the decision until 2005.

Prince Harry will spend the next three months working as a £100-a-week "jackeroo" on remote sheep and cattle stations in the Australian Outback, mustering on horseback and battling heat and flies.
Prince Harry meets the locals
The 19-year-old prince, who arrived in Australia on Monday at the start of his gap year between Eton and the Army, will watch England play in next month's Rugby World Cup and hopes to take part in at least one polo match.
Working on Australia's sprawling ranches, some the size of English counties, will test the prince's riding skills to the full. As a junior stockman his duties are likely to include rounding up livestock in thick scrub, branding animals and chores such as fencing.
The exact location of the ranches remains a closely guarded secret.
Just hours after touching down in Sydney, Prince Harry looked nervous as he arrived for a 16-minute photocall with a menagerie of koalas, possums and a wallaby at the city's Taronga Zoo, with Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House providing a spectacular backdrop.
Politicians complaining at the cost of the prince's security while in Australia had threatened a prickly reception. However, an echidna named Spike was his only difficult encounter.
The prince winced as he grappled with the animal and yelped: "It's pretty feisty."
A group of around 60 schoolchildren and well-wishers vied for the prince's attention, with sisters Brooke and Jessica Brims, aged 17 and 15, asking him for a kiss. He turned down the request but held on to their telephone number.
Prince Harry, given a traditional felt bushman's hat by zoo staff, declined to talk to journalists. But Colleen Harris, press secretary to the Prince of Wales, said: "He's trying to broaden his experiences and learn about life."
Asked if he would have time to go to the pub, she replied: "It would be nice, now and again, to sample Australian hospitality - so I hope he has some fun as well as working hard."
Republicans in Australia are unhappy about the estimated £240,000 cost of back-up for the prince's own close protection team.
One newspaper noted yesterday that while Prince Harry "seems our kind of bloke, fond of a beer with his pals", Australians would be "less than ecstatic" at subsidising his security arrangements.
Government ministers and the Australian Tourist Commission argued that the visit was worth millions of pounds in raising Australia's tourism profile. Prince Harry is expected to return to Britain for Christmas after which he will decide whether to attend the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, next autumn or defer the decision until 2005.

I have a pic of Prince Harry since he has been working at the farm in australia, it also has an article about it. It shows him working. I don't know if I should scan it because he should be having privacy while he does his work.
It came from a newspaper in queensland.
