I so wish I were that organised and well rested...
I'm sure that you guys have a incredible xmas, just the way that you described it then, I could see it in my minds eye almost as if I was there....
All of our national borders are closed to each and have been again since August 5th and we can't travel more than (as of yesterday..) 10kms outside our residential zone, before yesterday it has been 5km radius.
So like last year, there is zero reason a persona can travel across the borders and if you abslutely have to you must apply for a permit- and 99% of them get declined.
My home town is only an hour north of the NSW/Vic border- so a 9hour distance to travel north and it is only a small place- 4500 people and nowhere near Sydney- about 7hours south of Sydney infact, but they also went into hard lockdown when Sydney did, even though they have zero cases there the entire time. their premier has done a really BAD job of handling this wave of Covid...
That's the absurd part about it, all of NSW went into lockdown when it was only Sydney that is getting the 1000+ cases a day (there were a couple of other larger regional towns that had a small handful of cases too, but they were all up around Sydney anyway...
This is here I grew up. Stunning area...lol...
This is the area that the massive bushfires went through in 2019/2020 surrounded my home town, burnt down my school friends houses (and everyone elses..) in Cobargo and I got out and back to Melbourne about 2 days before the fires hit the areaFamous markets there too...Interesting...no vids on the markets there....hmmmm, well there you go- a future post from me- when I can get up there...lol...https://www.escapetomerimbula.com.au/event-details/candelo-markets-8
