Australians…are we still Young and Free?
On the 17th of March 2020 the Australian Government has implemented a total travel ban both outbound and inbound on all its residents. The ban was originally meant to be lifted on the 17th of September but there are talks to prolong it well into 2021. Make no mistake, while other countries still have an inbound travel ban (although the majority of them are slowly planning to lift it), Australia is the only democracy in the world with an outbound travel ban.

Intrepid Travel officially endorsed by Reconciliation Australia
Things are looking grim in Australia at the moment with talks of a second wave hitting Melbourne in the state of Victoria and Sydney being on high alert in NSW. It’s taking a toll on a lot of people, not just a financial toll but also, and perhaps in an even more disconcerting way, an emotional toll.

What is a “Covid-19 Safe Stamp” and why do we need it?
Recently both G-Adventures and Intrepid Travel have implemented the necessary measures to ensure absolute safety in all of their trips in order to inspire confidence to future travellers and re-start an industry that has been so far taking a very hard hit from the pandemic. I urge anyone interested in booking a trip to visit their websites and check the extent of what’s been done to achieve the “Covid-19 Safe Stamp”.
