Boxy's back!

Well been down under for 10 months and had a great time. Near Perth Western Australia (Mullaloo), beautiful place to be and couldn’t wish for a better place to have been in the lock down. 102 Total deaths throughout the whole continent.

I could tell many stories of such a different safe lifestyle over there, driving is a pleasure and fuel is inexpensive.

Done loads, managed to get there just in time for the birth of our first granddaughter, got set up with a car and bought a boat! We lived on the boat and had amazing time on the Indian Ocean. Winter there now and we did leave at a stormy time so hopefully catch some good weather here.

Time flew by and our visa was due to expire so return as planned to UK for summer and then back to Aus in December/January depending how things go.

Great to see SKY Poker is still here and looking forward to getting back on the tables and chatting to the small stake regs. Friday Offordable tomorrow see you there!

    @Boxster

    Great to see you back Boxy. Sounds like the trip was a roaring success.

    Why so few COVID 19 deaths in Australasia, any idea?

    Australia reaction to Covid 19 was rapid, inter state borders closed, schools closed. Quickly stopped all incoming non nationals from entering, planes grounded.

    Of course there is a lot more 'space' for everybody and low populated areas.

    Most of the cases in Western Australia were from cruise ships entering with passengers suffering that could not be turned away.

    We are in 14 day isolation here now. In Aus incoming residents were driven to a hotel and forced in to isolation all paid for by the government.

    Everything is opening now in WA just as we left :(

    Welcome home Boxxy. I hope you learned how to play poker out there ;)

    Online gambling sites are banned (almost) in Aus. Just 2 online sites I could find.

    Was hoping to visit Perth casino but that was obviously scuppered.
