Why a site in Victoria is one of ´10 of the Most Haunted Places to Visit Around the World´

 Visit Melbourne The Aradale Lunatic Asylum is a hulking complex of more than 60 buildings in the town of Ararat (2½ hours west of Melbourne) which was operated first as a county jail, then as an insane asylum from 1867 all the way until 1998; since 2001 it´s been a campus of Melbourne Polytechnic. As one might imagine, that adds up to 131 years of pain, suffering, tortured souls, and more than 13,000 deaths over the years. It´s open for tours of its notorious, deliciously spooky J Ward as…

    Did you know that Oz actually has skiing/snowboarding, and it's pretty decent? The title of country's best ski resort was awarded to Thredbo, in Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, a six-hour drive from Sydney and Melbourne.

    As an immigrant to another country myself - after all, that's what a so-called "expat" is - I keep an eye on the trends in this area, and the international financial services company HSBC has for 14 years done a survey of expats (though they've never gotten around to me lol), and Australia is firmly in the top ten on the latest, just released, for 2021: https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/the-10-best-countries-for-expats...

    Fear of ‘C’ (China/Covid/Corona) virus. Ask, do I want to be in a crowded airport, take a flight wearing a mask, be in another crowded airport, perhaps in a country with lesser health controls, stay at an all-inclusive resort, line up at food buffets, join a tour bus with another 30+people, board a gigantic cruise ship with 1000’s of other travellers, land at ports for more crowded tours, get on a train, stay in ginormous hotels or visit countries that do not have acceptable health, safety and security systems in place?

    The fear of ‘C’ is now present with many of us. I believe there will be a tremendous rejection of inbound Chinese tours which use the bus, train, boat, plane to visit our villages, towns, cities, cultural sites, parks and wilderness areas in large groups (often wearing face-masks). And, do we want to travel to China? 

    Finally, will insurance companies be 'fearful' of offering suitable and affordable coverage for 'all' age groups?

    We are still open to SME travel biz to list/link FOC direct booking offers by destinations and activities. TTTC is an excellent resource for travellers to plan for when the fear of ‘C’ has dissipated. This is a mktg and promo opp. to consider for post ‘C’ sales.
