PRINCE George has joined his parents for a family day at the zoo, marking the nine-month-old's first public engagement of royal family's Australian visit.
George has been filmed being strapped into the car with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge before leaving Admiralty House for the short drive to Taronga Zoo.
During their visit, they'll visit the bilby enclosure - named after Prince George as part of Australia's gift following his birth on July 22 last year.
After the opening - where George will also meet a bilby named George - he'll return to Admiralty House.
Prince William and Kate will take in more sights of the zoo which also has breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour.
The Cambridge family arrived at the zoo - which is at capacity - at 2.25pm.
Kate carried George - dressed in dark blue shorts, a striped lighter blue shirt, dark blue socks and shoes - as they entered the zoo.
He looked inquisitive, and was chuckling and looking at the cameras.
Kate had changed out her dove-grey Alexander McQueen outfit she wore to church, into a cream broderie anglaise dress by a designer who did not want to be named.
The dress had a fitted bodice and flared out to the knee.
William was also dressed casually in a dark blue checked shirt and chinos.
The have now gone into the enclosure to meet the bilby George, who until earlier on Sunday had been named Boy.
This is Prince George's second official function.
During the New Zealand leg of the trip, he "hosted" a play group event with other babies his age at Government House.
After George leaves, the duke and duchess will feed tree kangaroos, walk past giraffes, enjoy a bird show, and take in the rhino conservation display.
Tracee Harley, 42, and her eight-year-old daughter Charlotte were excited to catch a glimpse of the royal family.
"I'm coming to see baby George and the bilbies - that's what we're here for," Ms Harley told AAP earlier on Sunday.
"I'm really excited. Actually Kate's gorgeous, we can't wait to get a glimpse.
"With baby George it's a new generation of royals, so it's really exciting."
Charlotte Harley was wearing a rainbow wrist band she planned to give Kate.
"I'm really excited to see the baby bilby and George, and I want to know what Kate wears," she said.
After initial confusion between both Prince George and bilby George, the pair warmed up - especially when Prince William enticed the bilby over with some food.
Kate held George close to the glass fence dividing the pair, and he started to show a keen interest in the endangered marsupial.
He then helped his parents unveil a plaque, renaming the enclosure the Prince George Bilby Exhibit.
But despite being royal, he proved himself to be a normal baby - eagerly grabbing the stuffed bilby present before throwing it on the ground - and sticking a card straight in his mouth.
After the formalities, George left for Admiralty House.
The duke and duchess continued the visit to the zoo.
