starlight7 4,199 Posted July 28, 2020 Thinking about all those who, for some reason ,like to sit on a Spanish beach and those who like to go up to Bali and Thailand every year, what are your future plans? I think for us Australians going overseas is well and truly off the agenda until at least mid to late 2021 so are you going to go local instead ? I suspect borders will be closed, too, to us Victorians for a while but where would you go when we are ‘free’ ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDYorkie 345 Posted July 28, 2020 My OH wants to visit the U.K., I’m thinking of stopping with a relative in Oman. Beautiful place, people and food but I didn’t go to Muscat last time - I will next time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ramot 7,093 Posted July 28, 2020 We should have been going to Sydney today from Qld, and had rented a house on the Central Coast. Not taking the risk of either infection or the Qld border closing and having to pay for quarantine . So that’s our quick trip canx and no money being spent to help the local economy.

And if it's not for another 12-18 months, are you going to go somewhere local in the meantime?Yes, we’ve booked a couple of weeks on North Straddie, a trip out west Queensland and planning one to Cairns! So much to do in Queensland without venturing out of the state!! Im actually enjoying planning them all seeing as they are low cost and beautiful places.

starlight7 4,199 Posted July 29, 2020 I want to go to South Australia again but that's off. Can't even go down to Philip Island where we have a holiday house, grass must be 2 foot high by now. I guess we will all appreciate places more after all this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quokka2005 3,236 Posted July 30, 2020 I really miss my holidays. I think I’ll just be staying in Scotland till at least the end of the year. Was hoping to go somewhere abroad in December but might not be the best idea. Got a caravan holiday with my childhood friends, not exactly my dream holiday but should still be a laugh. Then I’m supposed to be going to a log cabin with another group in November but not 100% sure if I’m going to go 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eera 344 Posted July 30, 2020 Our NZ ski trip was cancelled a couple of weeks ago (probably for the best, since found out Remarkables are only currently operating lifts on weekends and school holidays). Instead we transferred our credit to Norfolk island in late October. We are supposed to be skiing in japan in January but I'm not overly hopeful that's going ahead; and next year I'm booked to go on a photography trip around Galapagos islands and Atacama Desert, but again, I'm not hopeful that it's going to come off. Instead We are thinking about going to the places in Australia that we've talked about going but have put off because we could go overseas instead - Kimberley, Lord Howe, Winton etc. 1 insta #tabradders Fine art landscape and portrait photography.

Toots 12,310 Posted July 30, 2020 I'm happy to go and explore Tassie especially the wilderness. The more remote the better as I can't stand crowds and tourists. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
