Well I have dropped comments to people at college, friends at the beach and at dinner on Saturday night regarding the tour and the response has been 'who bloody cares'. The average West Australian it seems (at least those I have spoken to age range 18-48) are not interested. A couple people even commented that they thought we had gotten rid of the monarchy already! I will be interested to see just how well this tour is received.
Hey Eden - just as well WA was left off the itinerary by sound of it ....
Maybe that's why we're already focusing on the "family" and "baby Prince" aspects - as noted before, Prince William's previous visit did not draw the Sydney crowds that Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres did.
A lot rests on Catherine, and the idea of an attractive, young family group, for this Tour.
I hope their health keeps ups - people will be disappointed if someone is unwell/misses an event etc.
They really need to come with "all guns blazing" these days to make a mark - everyone is so saturated with the rich, beautiful, talented and famous etc., in everyday life now.
The Premier of NSW Barry O'Farrell, was on the telly tonight - I don't want to say imploring - but making a point of asking that people get out and give the Royal Couple "the welcome they deserve".
The Easter Sunday Church Service, Good Friday Royal Easter Show Day and Anzac events would have had big crowds anyway - so they won't look neglected on these occassions. Smart organizers somewhere.
Cheers, Sun Lion.
