    Trolling? No way is there going to be international travel opening up by Christmas. Unless you mean Christmas 2022 maybe!
    Are you an Australian resident?

      Yup. Iffy as to whether Queensland and NSW can make interstate Christmas plans.

        Yeah we cancelled our christmas plans….crikey we've been trying to get to Noosa since February and have re-booked for November. Who wants to bet that will land right in the middle of 'round 2'?

    • Kaspersky researchers have discovered that the money-stealing mobile malware, Riltok has launched new variants and is extending its targeting from Russia to the rest of the world, starting with Europe, disguising itself as services popular in France, Italy and the United Kingdom. Riltkok was first observed in mid-2018.

      Riltok is a Banking Trojan.

    rolls of cash would be a preferred idea. Easy to sneak in as well. :D

    • Aunty visited from Europe last year and wish she had brought cash. She changed some in her country and used a no international charge CC but her best bang for buck would have been bringing cash in and changing at the exchange kiosk here. How ever your cash is most secure on a CC.

      • Nah I prefer my way. Plus rolling cash in bundles makes lot of sense.

    if you can find a card with no/low intl atm and transaction fees, card is better.

    Tape bundles of 1000 to your torso. Guaranteed you won't accidentally lose it on your journey.

    visa or mastercard.

    I doubt the international borders will be back to normal by then. If they are then expect to compulsory quarantine for 2 weeks at your expense.

    Bring cash, I will store it for you safely when you on your day trips.
    If I’m not home when you return don’t stress, I’ll just be playing pokies down the road and won’t be long.

    Isn't italy still being ravaged by the virus? And isn't Australia for that matter.

    • Least Australia, so far, is doing better than Austria.

      Same case numbers, less deaths, 2.5-3x the population

  • wont need much cash in hotel quarantine
    could be fun though, just sitting around playing with your dingus for a couple of weeks while people bring you food

  • lol 😂

  • boogie board, oh wait
