Covid-19 update number 4

Well, the October cruise is definitely cancelled now.
Since we have flights booked to Perth, and a hotel there for four nights, the current plan is to still go there.  But there are at least three things standing in the way of that.

1. We're currently not permitted to enter WA.  Might change before October.  Maybe.
2. Qantas just rescheduled our flights so that we arrive in Sydney 15 minutes (!!!) before our connecting flight to Perth leaves.  Their email says they're "monitoring" the situation about our connection but I don't know what there is to monitor - there is zero chance of us making a 15 minute connection in Sydney, and even less chance of our luggage making it.  And, I'm not planning to spend four days in Perth wearing the same clothes.  I can only presume Qantas has cancelled some flights and is hoping that people like us will just cancel rather than trying to get them to reschedule.  There's zero chance of that; they promised to get us to Perth and if they can't, I'm expecting a refund.
3. And of course, who knows what joys COVID-19 will bring.

However, on the bright side, our little cruise from Sydney to Brisbane in November is still theoretically happening.  We'll just have to wait and see.....
