Fingers crossed...
Jan 1^st, 2021 at 1:06pm

I have nervously booked flights to go to Queensland from Melbourne mid month!

Let’s see if we can finally get there to sort out what we couldn’t do last year due to border lockdown!

I see on news as from midnight tonight...the whole of NSW will have borders closed to them, rather than just hot spots.

Well... now the cases of Covid have grown in Melbourne as a result of travellers from NSW!

So fingers crossed ... yeah... Undecided

of course, “greetings earthlings” welcome to Queensland!
Let’s hope we make it, all flights and long term car parking booked.
Be interesting to see if many visitors are up there with all this Covid uncertainty about us.
I’m told by friends “hold off on the booking” but I say.... it’s NSW the problem, not Vic or Qld.
But that could change. Hopefully not.
It’s a waiting game.
Be funny if it all went into state border lockdown all around and I’m stuck up there in Qld!
Will batten down hatches here at home for the long haul... just in case!

Fingers crossed Lols. It is not looking good, however. Palaszczuk could shut it all down in a nano-second. The current outbreak in NSW and to a lesser extent Vic is pushing the envelope again.

Thing is, while I totally sympathise, there a very few Qlders who are unhappy about the tough stand Qld has taken.

Quite happy as always to have you lot up here...but leave your Covid out of this State. Lying 'Mexican' arseholes have also not been helpful to 'your' cause.

Anyway, I do hope you make it, and you are quite right to prepare for being held captive up here at a moment's notice.

Palachook can do as she likes. Destroying holidays, destroying family reunions, allowing the rich to quarantine in luxury and the scum in crummy motels is a progressive stance.

I am in the same boat Lols. We have booked a flight, accommodation and car package to Cairns - plus airport parking here in Melbourne. We are due to go next Saturday but it with the virus issues in NSW and now Vic, we may get shut out (or shut in) either here or in Qld. I really want to go back to FNQ again but I am not sure whether it is worth the worry or the risk. I guess tomorrow will be judgement day

Oh geez.. I’m so uncertain now I saw on the news about if we fly into Queensland we have to get a test then self isolate?
And all people interviewed at airport had no idea about it... none of us had!
I’m going to phone Jetstar to ask as I booked flights and nothing was written about this latest fiasco.

Imma gonna try and try or else I will phone Coolangatta airport and Covid hotline.
So far what I know... once we arrive we have to find a testing station and self isolate until results arrive... and pays to bring a seat, sunblock, umbrella, book to read as it’s hours long queues!
