Republican highlight of the royal visit was Prince George’s disdainful and immediate chuck of the toy bilby at Taronga Zoo. Quite clear what he thinks about the colonials. This part of the tour was bordering on the ridiculous with so many things named after George, including a bilby at the same zoo (seeing a crocodile was already named after him by the NT Government to honour his birth) and a shopping plaza in Elizabeth SA, the town named after his great grandmother.
