Polish your dancing shoes because it’s industry events galore as the two peak bodies reveal the return of two much sought-after happenings.

Travel Weekly’s editor spent her Sunday morning shushing the cheering crowd at Marrickville Library as Albo posed out the front for this photo op. He’s lucky he has a cute dog or she may have had to get the librarians involved.

As you can imagine, the response to this announcement has almost been stronger than our commitment to three coffees before midday (that’s pretty damn strong!).

Travel Weekly also marked cruising’s big return by lighting off a bunch of fireworks in the office, which, coincidentally, set off the fire alarm and gave us an early mark.

At Travel Weekly we’re invoking our ‘journalist bill of rights,’ but that just means asking companies for more spring rolls at events.

Australia’s cruise ban has been extended for another two months, and CLIA is feeling *checks notes* hopeful this time around.
