Britain's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla visit the Sydney Opera House as they continue their tour of the Pacific in honour of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.

The pair, who arrived in style on a boat, were greeted by hundreds of well-wishers at the iconic spot.

Inside, they were treated to music by renowned blind Australian singer Geoffrey Gurrulul Yunupingu.

The Royal couple are staying with Australia's first female governor general Quentin Bryce at her official residence Admiralty House - across the harbour from the Opera House.

The Governor-General hosted a dinner for Prince Charles and Camilla, posing for official photos in the grounds of the property.

Charles and Camilla will next visit Canberra on Saturday morning before flying to Auckland, New Zealand later in the day.
