With the announcement today of Qantas cutting 90% capacity till end of May I suspect many airlines will also follow. My ten cents wrt the 14 day isolation thing, it will likely be increased to 21 days as we get on top of the new virus. Also expect significant further disruption to travel...

@alief thank you for the kind words, are you based in Tasmania, or were you also traveling down to the apple Isle? So problematic to all, but with Shene closing, Mona closing, tour members in mandatory quarantine it was a disaster. Not to mention i was being advised to take care not to attend...

Good news, very lucky that they will let you off the ship I think.

Finally got through to them, cancelled and no charges at this stage for cancellation. SO i can arrange to transfer everyones $75 back in full. Good news at last. Perhaps each person can send a personal message with bsb acct details to save everyone posting their details here.

Still can get no reply from Europcar who i booked the van with, from memory it was about 215 so i made the cost component 25 for each to cover myself ao worst case may be 20-25 a head.

Thanks @CaptJCool , this is the first step I heard about late last week. Second step will be either stopping any entries into the state, or 14 day mandatory self isolation for all entrants into the state, including domestic, international and returning locals.

Thanks mate, state of emergency now in Victoria for 4 weeks, expect other states to follow soon. Will let everyone know.

Shene Distillery is closed until further notice, so no distillery tour now. Expect the other distillery tour I had arranged to also be cancelled. With this in mind I think we need to make a decision to cancel the HOBART Wine, Food and Gin tasting trip. This is not what I planned or wanted we...

For anyone struggling with understanding why we now have social distancing recommended. Here is a series of animations from the Washington Post, a hotspot of infection exists in parts of the USA. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/

@straitman . The news today of mandatory 14 day isolation quarantine for all overseas arrivals and no docking for any cruise boats means you will be unable to attend it seems. I attended a professional meeting with updates on how we will handle COVID-19 today. It was a seriously scary meeting...

As far as I know 5 cases in Tasmania, 2 Launceston, 3 Hobart, all overseas travel caught, in isolation in Hospitals. No community transmission yet. Only 1 local transmission case in all Australia.

Thanks everyone, I presented and hosted the last Dry Eye Workshop tonight in a series of them. Will be the last face to face education in the next 3-4 months as restrictions begin on gatherings and education with COVID-19. So things will be fluid and possibly beyond anyone’s control. If anyone...

Indeed, is everyone happy to continue with our small group tour on the Saturday or should we consider a cancel and refund situation?

So Just @Delectable Blue to go! Yay. More details to be posted soon, with a second distilerary offering a free tour! Some last minute doubt about the Early morning appt at Glaeltzer_Dixon so that may have to move a little later in the day. Will let you know when i Know.

For the upfront costs of the tour, $75 per person, can I request payment into the special tour account I have set up. Account to pay fees BSB 087-250. Ac No. 780122016. Please use your username in the transaction description. No rush on this but I will prepay the hire bus and Shene tasting tour...

I will do an extra confirmation, but they aim to please and always help my wife who is also GF, so i feel your pain.

yes they do, if i remember last time your plus 1 had gluten free dishes prepared especially for her. :)

Last year for the dinner we booked Frogmore Creeks CBD restaurant called the lounge. Both my wife and I love it, so if no objections we will book it again for the Saturday night. 12 People, 13 if my wife joins us, for the dinner at my last count. We did get very good feedback about the dinner...
