The royal tour continues with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex today arriving in Dubbo, about 300 km outside of Sydney. Their agenda includes a walkabout, a visit to the Royal Flying Doctor Service, a picnic at Victoria Park with members of the public and a stop by a girls’ school. I’ll get as much as I can up now, but may round out tomorrow as the day progresses – thank you, time zones.
