The skills and produce of our farmers will be on show, as King Charles III and Queen Camilla are hosted at a barbeque by NSW Premier Chris Minns this week, but there's frustration that the monarch's will not visit the regions.

The Parramatta event will showcase regional NSW produce during the royal visit, which begins tomorrow and stretches to the 23rd.

“We look forward to hosting Their Majesties at the community BBQ where they will get to experience some of the best produce, grown by the farmers of NSW," Mr Minns said.

The event offers an opportunity for the royals to connect with the bush, on a tight schedule.

It will include a showcase of produce from farmers across the state, with support from the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales and a sheep dog demonstration.

Saunders critical

According to the Premier the royal tour has been scaled back following the King’s battle with cancer, and has been organised by the monarchs, thus leaving the trip schedule out of the hands of the Government.

State member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders is critical. “Minns said famously during the last election campaign that he was a city dweller who didn’t 'pretend to have any expertise about regional NSW.'

“Last month he referred to Tamworth as North Eastern NSW, and now he’s thinking Parramatta qualifies as regional NSW.

“We all know Labor thinks NSW is only Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong, but this is ridiculous,” said Mr Saunders.

Roy Butler Independent Member for Barwon said, "we sought through the Premier's office to have the royal visit come to Broken Hill to visit the Royals Flying Doctor Service due to the King's associated patronage. However, the King's ill health was a limiting factor in his ability to travel.

"I hope that regional NSW will be a prominent feature of the itinerary during a future royal visit," said Mr Butler.

A Cobar resident who wished to remain anonymous said, "it is disappointing the King and Queen will not come out to visit rural and regional Australia as we really do have so much to offer out here. Though it must be said that Parramatta is definitely not rural that's for sure.

"Hopefully on their next visit they will come out to see the amazing rural areas we live in."
