Rare MMDown Under Posted October 4, 2020 #132 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Word Heritage Listed Lord Howe Island is now open to travellers, after 6 months closedown. Unfortunately flights from Brisbane have been cancelled by Qantas. However, Qantas flights are available from Sydney. A LHI holiday would be perfect for people from NSW who are currently limited where they can travel. I can recommend Ocean View Apartments, where we stayed last December and intended to stay this December. The owners are descendants of original settlers. Only 400 people can visit the island at a time. Most people walk or ride bikes, but you can rent a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just point to the beer tap and put one finger up, but not in a rude way or say 'Schooner, please.'🍺 And the amber fluid will be forthcoming.

This has meant the 15,841 cases that went unreported between 25 September and 2 October were added onto Saturday and Sunday’s figures, with worrying implications for the country’s contact tracing system."

NSWP Posted October 7, 2020 #144 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Reports just in, 3 new covid cases, non quarantine in Sydney. Qld Premier wants 28 days of no community transmitted cases before border opening with Qld, looks like that is out the window, we had 11 days clear up to yesterday.

I had a play with their site yesterday. Distinct lack of information on cabins, prices etc. Even its sibling Cunard, renowned for awful website, is more helpful. Anyway, move along to dates and up pops a message to telephone a 13 number or Australian bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Traveller Posted October 8, 2020 #149 Share Posted October 8, 2020 3 hours ago, NSWP said: UK had 14000 new positive tests yesterday, getting worse. Terrible. ☹️ Very early this year, all political leaders had to make a judgement call on how to react to the unique situation of the pandemic. They had to take advice from their medical experts, but we saw that governments in different countries handled the situation differently. Some people claimed we should have followed the same course as Sweden. Yes - mistakes have been made, but that is probably inevitable. I am glad that our federal government took the course it did that has resulted in Australia being in a pretty good position where the virus is very well controlled. All we need is a vaccine in the not-too-distant future to deliver a knock-out blow to the virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 4 or 5 P&O UK cruises I booked in recent years, same thing, but no big deal and P&O UK honoured military obc.
