The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh left Melbourne's sunny skies and arrived to inclement weather in Perth.A crowd of more than 400 people braved the wet weather to sneak a peek at the royal pair touching down at Perth International Airport at 4.20pm, five minutes ahead of schedule.
WA Premier Colin Barnett and his wife Lyn, as well as Defence Minister Stephen Smith, were on the tarmac waiting for the Queen to arrive.
As she emerged from the plane, the Queen was greeted by loud cheers from the waiting crowd who had been gathering all afternoon.
Earlier in the day during her whirlwind tour of Melbourne, the Duke of Edinburgh was every inch the exasperated commuter when he took a tram ride through the city with the Queen.
As soon as the royal couple stepped aboard the public transport vehicle he waved his hand and ordered driver Joyleen Smith to set off as they were running late.
It is the first time the monarch has travelled by tram since she boarded one during the Manchester Commonwealth Games in 2002.
In honour of the royal passengers the white Z3-Class vehicle had been transformed with a red, white and blue exterior colour scheme and inside it had been refurbished and restored.
A dot-matrix screen at its front displayed the words "royal tram" while a smaller one was lit up with the monarch's initials "ER''
Ms Smith, a tram driver for almost seven years, described today's event as an honour.
She added: "When they got on I said hello to the Queen, and Philip said 'come on driver lets go, were running late', so I thought we better go.
"He said it with a smile on his face and I know hes got a wicked sense of humour."
The pair boarded the tram at Stop 13 in Melbourne's Federation Square and travelled along St Kilda Road to a reception and lunch with local politicians at Government House, before flying to Perth late this afternoon.
