Our son and DIL shouted us a seat at the State of Origin (rugby league). Townsville was lucky enough to host the game because Melbourne is lockdown. It will probably never happen again. With over 27,000 at the game (mostly Qld) the city also put large screens in a couple of spots in the city for locals to enjoy. Sadly Queensland lost 6-50 to New South Wales :( We still enjoyed the experience. The Veronicas sang before the game and Jessica Mauboy and others entertained the crowd in the city.
Wow what an encouraging shot Sheralee, we are now were near getting this many people in one spot yet with the UK restrictions, hopefully it will not be to fare away:)
@pcoulson We have been very lucky with Covid in North Queensland Peter. My town has only had one case and it was early on when a traveller returned home and self-isolated. These days they have to go into two weeks of quarantine. Even Townsville has only had a couple of cases for the entire time.
