Yeah, I booked a flight to Northern NSW for the end of this month but will almost certainly have to cancel that. Was going to change to Noosa but now with this unknown case QLD will be closing its border soon as well.
Any room in SA?
I hope we are sensible and level headed about our border and donât close it off just yet.
Not sure if any room, we had another run of SA Travel vouchers yesterday that was open Australia wide and the site crashed it was dealing with that many people but the promo got rid of all 75,000 vouchers in 40 minutes still
Might have to expand the blitz âgirlsâ night out and let the blokes attend lol

Arenât there like 5 girls on Blitz at the best of times?
So, SA is looking good right about now. If we do 10 days, that enough (or too much)
Any decent spots to go to (donât tell me Barossa Valley and thatâs it)
Want good beaches and good food
You go down south. Great beaches and you have McLaren Vale on the other side of the road for all your wine and food needs. You can also go to Kangaroo Island. 10 days is plenty and I donât think too much if you want to do relaxing things.

Iâd always make the effort to go through Hahndorf in the Hills.
I went to South Aus last winter (2019) and went Mount Gambier, Millicent, Robe, Kingston, Meningie, into Adelaide, down to Glenelg, then Victor Harbour and Goolwa, then up to the Clare Valley and Quorn and back along the river, turning south in Mildura.
Iâm off the plonk so didnât worry too much about wine country.

I loved going to Victor Harbour and Goolwa⌠one thing I always missed from Adelaide. Just under an hourâs drive out of the city and you could see the wide ocean⌠youâd need at least twice as long a drive from Melbourne to see the same thing.
Hahndorf is always a nice visit, make sure to enjoy the German food.

I was hanging for a currywurst and a wiener schnitzel, but theyâd taken the currywurst ff the menu for that week.
Our U/17 Country Week carnival finished today with Mount Gambier beating Horsham to win it. The Mount Gambier people just said they play in these carnivals because Adelaide is so far away. Two good crews, and it was such a pleasure to see the two Warrnambool teams knocked out in the semis yesterday. I think one of the two had won the last 8 or 9 carnivals.
Thrifty very shifty. Went to book a car earlier, $500 for about 8 days, left the windows open and went out, cane back and it let me select it but wouldnât let me go to the next page. So opened up another tab (left this one open) and the proce jumped to $750, exact same car.
Oh well.
Noosa it is (for now)
9 news saying international travel isnât on the cards this year. Particularly to the US and UK.
Understandable but still sad about the prospect of no international trips.

Just the gloomers.
Sure there wonât be unlimited travel but places will open back up and barring that itâs easy to get an exemption. No way on Earth will I be stopped

Then youâll be one of those Aussies all the bleeding hearts are begging the government to do more for to be let back in.

Nope, plenty of options available if you are willing to pay. Iâm not planning to go to the US but most likely Iâll go to the UK as we have at least 1 wedding on the cards
