Just when it appears there may be hope that there may be a (albeit modified) ski season in Australia this year the premier of Queensland - the state in which I live - is suggesting that our border will be shut until September.

This is despite there being just a handful of covid cases nation wide. Now my problem is simply that I won't get to ski this southern hemisphere winter. I feel for the business and property owners on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and other areas that rely heavily on tourism for a living.
NZ season looks to be going ahead but international visitors make up half the clientele so it could be a tough year for the resorts.
