Not just hotels, Peter Mac Melbourne short stay ward, brand new building. Had to bring friend a longer charging cord. Sorry, no excuse for this building designers, it was about 3 cm too far away.

The only airport I've been to where you had to pay (separately) for the ferry to and fro...

Just joining the thread to look for ideas for short breaks. Can’t go too far from home as I travel solo and cancer fatigue is a real thing! Being diagnosed with metatastic triple neg breast cancer in Jan this year really blocked any attempt to get through even a domestic travel bucket list. I...

I am still trying to find any official confirmation (as opposed to speculation/rumour) that the Hobsons Bay outbreak was caused by family visiting a returnee from NSW. At the moment the source has not been found, and there aren’t any backward links showing on the various charts.

I’m okay with being a “pious rule follower” if it means I dont get Covid and I dont pass it on to anyone else. That is how communities work.

I am unlikely to go anywhere, but will enjoy living vicariously via the trip reports…
