WA will soon be in a league of its own for border restrictions, with Marky Mark McGowan ready to throw NSW into the ‘extreme risk’ bucket.

As we’ve all come to expect during the pandemic, WA likes to make its border decisions in its own time. But, as the saying goes, better late than never.

While all the attention is on the trans-Tasman bubble becoming two-way, let’s not forget about this bit of positive domestic travel news.

Marky Mark and his funky bunch over in WA have delivered some very delightful news to travellers from Victoria.

There’s been a loosening of restrictions. And by that, we mean those concerning domestic borders – not the undone button on the pants of Travel Weekly’s editor.

It appears Marky Mark McGowan couldn’t help but steal some of the thunder from Queensland on its big border reopening day.

Two states have tightened restrictions even further for South Australian travellers, as the COVID-19 cluster in Adelaide continues to grow.

WA is set to transition to a “safe and sensible” border regime. But, NSW travellers are once again being lumped with Victorians when it comes to risk levels.

Do any of your clients happen to have Broome, Kununurra or Exmouth on their travel bucket list? Good news awaits.

While Western Australian agents are breathing a sigh of relief, those in other states and territories have no doubt turned green with envy over this new funding.
