Sydney - Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue arrived in Sydney on Sunday and told fans she was delighted to be on the comeback trail.

The Sun Herald newspaper reported that the 37-year-old jumped up and down clapping her hands as if to reinforce recent stories that she is fully recovered from breast cancer.

A lump was removed from the her left breast in a Melbourne hospital in May. After the operation in her hometown, which forced the postponement of the remaining Showgirl concerts, Minogue underwent treatment in France, where she has been sharing an apartment with her fiancé, actor Olivier Martinez.

The former Neighbours soap opera star will make her first public appearance in Australia on Wednesday. In Sydney, she will launch her own perfume.

Her first concert will be in Sydney at the weekend, after which she is scheduled to do shows in Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth.
