Catherine emerged from the plane in a yellow dress London-based Serbian fashion designer Roksanda Ilinčić.

The royal couple greeted well-wishers in front of the Sydney Opera House, watched an Aboriginal welcome performance, and were presented with cricket bats as they stood near the Cricket World Cup trophy.
