THE BIG PICTURE

BREAKING NEWS

This afternoon the Queensland Health Minister, Dr Young, advised Premier Palaszczuk to lift the Brisbane-centric COVID restrictions that were imposed three weeks ago. 

Science has prevailed. The restrictions will end six hours earlier. Literally, we can all breath easier from 0600 tomorrow (15th) instead of midday.

"So that's wonderful news. That means you don't need to carry your masks." the Premier said.

However there are many exceptions. See below for travel-related requirements.

Notwithstanding the on/off/on/off nature of everone's travel plans, our region continues to pump,  There's still a large number of great deals for accommodation, tours and attractions on offer. The weather is magnificent. Please head on up to be warmly welcomed, and have a great holiday!

A caution of a couple of weeks ago remains current: 

• There is very little hire car availability in the region for at least the next couple of weeks. Get in early, but it may already be too late.
• Also, our transfer capacity is being gobbled up. If you need to book a transfer with us please do so sooner rather than later.

Given the current exceptional circumstances, you may be reluctant to initiate travel arrangements.

Be assured that any booking that is cancelled outside 24 hours of intended time of travel will receive a 100% refund.

 
BE COVID-19 SAFE

The requirement to wear masks in Queensland has not been completely removed.

• They must be worn in aircraft and airports, and
• They are recommended for:
  • indoors
  • traveling on public transport, taxis, rideshare

Exemplar is fully compliant and we have formal certification from the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC). We are recommending that masks be worn while in our vehicles.
