Royals visit bushfire survivors
Print Edition
SURVIVORS of last year’s devastating Australian bushfires met with Britain’s Prince William and his wife Kate yesterday as the royal couple visited the Blue Mountains.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on a three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand with their baby son George, met those who lost everything in the fires which destroyed more than 200 homes.
Kate chatted with residents in one of the worst-hit streets in October’s inferno, 80 kilometers west of Sydney.
“To not have any loss of life is incredible,” she said at Winmalee Guides Hall, which is surrounded by blackened trees.
“I want to shake as many hands as I can,” Prince William said. “Everyone.”
Fiona Hillan, who lost her home in the inferno, was impressed by the compassion shown by the duke and duchess.
“It is wonderful,” she said. “It doesn’t replace everything ... but it helps the healing process.”
