Prince William Ends Tour of Australia, N. Zealand
Britain's Prince William, second in line to the throne, ended a week-long tour of Australia's disaster-hit areas Monday with a trip to the state of Queensland.
William's tour also included earthquake-damaged Christchurch and cyclone- and flood-affected communities in Victoria.
During his visit to the northeastern state, the prince met privately with residents of Grantham, who lost loved ones when a flash flood nearly wiped the town off the map in January.
He also attended a country music festival in Toowoomba Sunday and met the family of 13-year-old Jordan Rice, who sacrificed his life in a flash flood so his little brother could be saved.
William has insisted on meeting people as informally as possible during his first official visit to the region.
