Royals hit the DJ decks in Adelaide

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down for their visit to Elizabeth, in Adelaide's north, where baby Prince George was honoured.

The royal couple flew into Edinburgh RAAF base after spending the night camping under the stars at Uluru.

William and Kate spent only about two hours in Elizabeth - named in honour of the Queen - but all of that time involved the area's young people.

Kate wore a dusty pink Alexander McQueen outfit, with a flared skirt, while William wore a navy suit and maroon tie.

They were met by South Australian Governor Kevin Scarce and Acting Premier John Rau.

The royal's first stop was at a community music program which offers youths the chance to make and listen to music and engage with the wider music industry. Both the Duke and Duchess had tentative goes on DJ turntables, much to the delight of onlookers.

They saw a demonstration at an adjacent skateboard park before the royals wound up their Adelaide stopover with a civic reception where they mingled with a group of invited guests, all aged under 30.

They also unveiled a plaque renaming the forecourt of the Playford Civic Centre Prince George Plaza, after the nine-month-old son who had been left behind in Canberra.

Unemployment in the area is high, especially youth unemployment, and that's why the royal visit is seen as a much needed boost.

Once a manufacturing hub, the region has been hard hit with closures and the announcement car maker Holden will shut down operations.
