After disembarking their Royal Australian Air Force 737, the Duke and Duchess were welcomed to Queensland by an honor guard at the Amberley Air Force base. The couple inspected the honor guard before meeting Premier Campbell Newman, Defence Minister David Johnston and Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale.

The Duchess of Cambridge sported a form-fitting, white with blue petal detail around the waist by high-street designer L.K. Bennett. The 'Lasa Poppy Print Dress' (£245 and now sold out) features elbow-length sleeves and a small split in the back. Her choice of dress is a nod to the importance of the poppy, as a symbol of remembrance in the military community.
