Well, just last month I was reporting on how we survived the SE QLD lock down and how things were again tracking on nicely. The good new is for those in SE QLD this is true... For everyone south of the border this however, is not. With the QLD/NSW border bubble being removed it threw some of our routines into chaos, chaos for us to navigate and once again adjust.
