King Charles set to arrive in Australia for landmark tour

King Charles III began his tour to Australia on Friday, beginning the most strenuous foreign trip since his cancer diagnosis and a tour showcasing busy barbecues, famed landmarks and pressing climate dangers.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and other high-ranking officials will receive him at the airport, and a ceremonial king's flag will be hoisted above many government buildings. After six days in Australia, Charles and Queen Camilla will jet across the Pacific Ocean on a rare trip to island nation Samoa.
