Peter Foley is longing to hear live music ring out over the rolling hills and beaches of the Bass Coast this summer.
His cautious optimism is widely shared among tourism and hospitality operators across regional Victoria. They know Melburnians, severely limited in travel options, are busting to escape after months of lockdown. Victoria’s tourism industry has been hit hard by the combined impact of coronavirus restrictions and summer’s devastating bushfires.
He notes that businesses have closed and expects that will continue, with many small operators relying on JobKeeper to stay afloat.
Surely all the local happy clapper Christians at Archies Creek have prayed for it to end. Or maybe they prayed for the sinners to leave?
Don't think so.......Andrews will not budge till March. His getting a free ride off Scomo. Hard to believe when he is the one who fucked up so badly.
Wouldn't be too optimistic about prospects for anyone investing in Victoria under VictorianLabor anti-business and anti-jobs policies such as an unnecessary lockdown/curfew/travel curbs in metro Melb. Interstate and espec. o/s 'lookin' good! theheraldsun 3AW693 abcnews
I know that patch of grass, the best spot to sit in Gippsland. with a great cider, and fantastic local grazing menu
He obviously has a lot of good money to throw after bad.! People want to get out of Victoria as soon as they can, not stay in this Hell-Hole!.
Quigley & Clarke in my hometown of Clunes has had to shut down forever due to the restrictions. Might be a prime opportunity for anybody looking to invest.
