Amman, Nov. 16 (Petra)--Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah will start an official visit to Australia on November 23 upon an invitation from the Governor General of Australia Peter Cosgrove.

The King did an interview on national television here in Australia last night and footage of it, and articles about it, are now online.

I can't post links, but it can be easily found on the internet - "ABC Lateline".

Footage of Queen Rania's visit to the school, and the King and Queen's State Luncheon at Government House, has just been shown on the early evening TV news here in Sydney.

I'm amazed at how the Queen could keep speaking to a child with the camera so close to her face.

This may be, or may become, available on the internet - Channel Ten's "Tenplay" may have it.

Other Australian TV channels may post footage also - Channel Nine's "ninemsn" and Channel Seven's "Yahoo7".

SBS may give this some coverage also as the evening goes on.
 
no state Dinner yet?

There will not be a dinner Lilo their visit to Australia ended on 25 November. Now they are enjoying 3 day-free until tomorrow when they start NZ visit. I think their visit to Australia has been very unusual no State dinner, only a few engagements...

Me thinks this is more of an official visit and not a state visit. No state dinner, no return dinner, very odd for a state visit.
