If you go to the Washington Post website you can find there a preidential tracker, it traces movements and meetings Obama has had gives details up to the present hour it does not give details of further trips or trip here. But it will give you departure time from Honolulu/ Hickam and then you can work out arrival times in Canberra. You were able not to track his movements for G20 meetings but by looking at departure time from Andrews AFB you could guestimate his arrival into Cannes using this site....
