Commiserations. I don't think there are many people unaffected by this though.

I was supposed to drive to Darwin with my son, we planned returning via Alice Springs and Uluru in May but the State border closures put the kibosh on that. Prior to that I was expecting an overseas visitor to arrive for a month in March but the closing of international borders stopped that happening.

Once the school holidays are over in October I hope I can get away for a few weeks in NSW though it is rumoured that the SA and NT borders might open next month but that remains to be seen.

It is very trying times for all prospective travellers, especially as the borders and travel restriction could be reimposed with little notice. Definitely need to get out and about however.

Well we have booked a couple of nights at the feathers hotel in Woodstock and plan to visit Blenheim palace, but again Covid looks like putting a stop to it...

Believe it or not, our family in Georgia was booked at 2019 price. Might still be off for in US............

It might then be cancelled but then the probability is the 2020 prices will be hiked.

Watch out Mags!

If they double the prices, in November, that new price will fit the "2020 prices" thing.

Prices will remain as we have already rebooked for next July ...... whether we manage get there or not is another thing though

Re: Should’ve been on holiday

We should be in Spain now still have bookings for later this month but it’s looking unlikely .

I dread the winter with nothing to look forward too .
I dread the winter full stop it’s something I hate the cold and dreariness .

I had hopeD to return to Australia in the New Year looks this isn’t going to happen if fact I wonder if I will ever travel again.

Re: Should’ve been on holiday

we had to cancel our June Holiday and our September holiday, both to Spain but we've carried them forward to next year, something to look forward to I suppose, well, if we ever can get away again that is. We ended up in Northumberland for 5 days and we had a lovely few days away, luckily it only chucked it down one day out of the 5.

The PM, Scotty from Marketing, has said that the International Borders won't be open until next year so you might be lucky but I think it will depend entirely on infection rates in the UK.

Currently the thinking is that there will be a "bubble" with NZ, Australia and perhaps some Pacific Islands early next year but even that is not certain.
