@Pushka Did you get the questioning on flight arrival into BNE a few weeks ago?
I might book a flight ADL - BNE and back for Jun long weekend next year, hopefully the border rules would have changed by then, but would be interesting to see what they did on your dom flight into BNE.

We were in Row 4 and exited quickly. We were met at the exit gate and interviewed and had to show ID and our exit permit. All very friendly given that SA border is tighter than a cat ummm, it is tight. Then we could see that no one was wearing a mask so we removed ours and moved to luggage collection. Then over to Avis to collect the car and on to Port Douglas.
