Beekay 5,094 Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Your lot wouldn't let us in. We'd have to quarantine on Tasmania for about 3 months, then they could say no. Especially after We'd made an illegal voyage on an inflatable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay, at the moment we are even restricting entry to our own citizens and as of 14th July the cap on numbers returning will be further reduced. All cases of covid in Australia have their origin in returned overseas travelers Our government's implementation of the vaccination roll out has been an omni-shambles and they are still following an eradication strategy. If they want to achieve this then they need to fully close the borders. They would be far better getting on with vaccinating us all as quick as they can. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 But if Australians aren't allowed in to their own country after visiting abroad, where are they supposed to go and what do they do?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,218 Posted July 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I guess stay with family, friends or run up mega hotel bills, I don't know but what is more important our federal government does not seem to care. The latest data indicates that there are some 34-36,000 Australian citizens and permanent residents who want to come home and the list is growing. We are only going to allow 3,035 people to return to Australia a week from July 14th. From the start of the pandemic having closed the borders the federal government has stubbornly refused to recognise that hotel quarantine is not ideal, in containing covid and that it needs to purpose build quarantine accommodation if it wants to continue with the eradication strategy.

Beekay 5,094 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 It's a bugger when your own country won't let you come home. Do they become displaced persons? A bit like that lot in the channel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,071 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Just watched u-tube "Balva Hola" first went there to see the High Kings, the following year went to see the "Kilkennys" just have invited to watch them by steming (not sure of spelling) cost E12 euros, for thoes who don't know Balva Hola is a large cave in Balva Germany, After the war the british wanted to blow the cave up, but the people of the village ask them if they would leave the cave alone. Now the cave is used for parties, weddings, shows, and more. Each year in Auguest they have a "Irish Folk Festival" and seeing as my bother lives in Belva we normaly go. Back to u-tube this is what I was watching, The Irish Folk Festival. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tatties and so forth to nurture, not to mention all the Georgia pesticles to deal with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Do they still make Good Boy Doggie Chox? They were chocolate drops especially for hounds. They were very popular. In the early 70s, I had one of those fashionable long cardigans in pale green mohair. Visiting a friend who had a pooch, I put some Doggie Choc in the pocket. Next time I looked, the chox had been eaten and so had the pocket! They must have been good! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
