I think this is the longest time that the world has stood still where countries closed their borders for international visitors. But this action is necessary to heal our land and the people, and for the ailing economy to bounce back again. It is also the best way for recovery so that we can showcase …
I’m glad that more restrictions were lifted in our area including travelling within our state. Though limited but it is still a good indication that things are hopefully getting back to normal, the old normal where we can go anywhere without fear. Yet for now, I’m happy I can visit new towns again and old …
Do you have a favourite spot in your city that you want to visit over and over again? You bet, I do and this is the area that me and hubby would frequent. What not to love about this place? It has everything, a beach, historical museum and fort, cafes and restaurants and a scenic …
It looks like I’m doing a yearly visit to the Blue Mountains each winter for a few years now. It’s a bucket list for most overseas visitors who come to Australia of which I’m happy to compel taking relatives and friends to this nature trip.
