Canberra and Perth can expect a pair of Japanese Air Force Boeing 747's this week supporting the visit of Prime Minster Shinzo Abe.

Media Release by PM's Office (https://www.pm.gov.au/media/2014-06-30/visit-prime-minister-japan)

Expected to arrive in Canberra on Monday evening and depart on either Tuesday or Wednesday to Perth.

The two jets are currently bound for New Zealand on the first leg of the visit.

At a News Conference in Canberra this afternoon, Abbott said that both he and Abe are heading to the Pilbara tomorrow. Port Headland maybe?
