The hardest part by far will be how to manage the 4 QF/JQ/3K etc flights by then, as I live in the UK for the forseeable. I would love to come back to Aus to visit family but can't justify a 2 week hotel quarantine (either financially or in terms of time away). Hopefully the situation improves early next year and gives an opportunity to get back!
