THE King told of his joy at landing in Australia to "renew a love of this country and its people which I have cherished for so long".

On the first full day of his visit Down Under, Charles yesterday undertook his first major ceremonial duties and made time for a couple of impromptu royal walkabouts.

In the morning, the royals attended a church service at St Thomas' in North Sydney before they were met by sizable crowds keen to catch their first glimpses of the King and Queen on their six-day visit to Australia.

Charles and Camilla spoke to primary school children from the Thomas' Sunday school group, who were brimming with enthusiasm to meet the royals. They had waited patiently for over an hour and when officials started arriving, one boy excitedly shouted: "Are they here?!"

After the hour-long service, Charles and Camilla were wished safe travels for the rest of their trip before being asked to sign Australia's first Bible and a book of common prayer.

Every member of the Royal Family has signed the bible, which belonged to Reverend Richard Johnson, the first Christian Minister in Australia, on past royal visits.
