The Duchess chose a sleeveless shift dress by Roksanda Ilincic, the same designer who created the yellow dress she wore to arrive in Sydney. Her husband complemented her in a fawn-hued short-sleeved shirt and a pair of chinos.
The couple's visit has evoked memories of the journey made there by William's parents Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales during their Oz tour in 1983. Then a baby, William accompanied them on the tour, although not to Uluru.
Similarly, the Cambridge's own son, Prince George, did not join them on the three-hour tripfrom Canberra; he stayed in the capital with his nanny. William and Kate will spend Tuesday night under the stars, glamping at Longtitude 131, the luxury accommodation facing the north face of Uluru. There they will be able to experience the outback at night and have an opportunity to see the sun rise over Uluru.
Shortly after their arrival, the royal couple were taken to the National Indiginous Training Academy, which provides training for the hospitality and tourism industries.

They handed out certificates to delighted graduating students before receiving gifts of their own to commemorate the visit, including a traditional spear and jewellery. "George will probably chew on it, so I'll keep it away from him," Kate joked, as she was presented with a handmade bracelet.
After a quick outfit change for the Duchess into a recycled Hobbs dress and a sensible pair of wedges, the couple then headed to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, where they were treated to a traditional aboriginal dance called an Inma.
