After more than a year of closed borders, Australians and New Zealanders will soon be able to jet-hop between countries after the government announced that the trans-Tasman travel bubble will be operational from April 19.
With quarantine-free travel now possible, are you more likely to head across the Tasman or travel domestically?
Fronting Australian media yesterday, Jacinda Ardern not only spoke of the excitement of families being able to be reunited, but also pitched New Zealand tourist activities to Australian viewers.
"If there is a hot spot in one of the states of Australia we may just act in the same way that another state would ... Just prepare that there may be disruptions, but what better place in the world to be stuck. Am I right?," she said.
The trans-Tasman bubble will operate on a three tier basis: Continue, Pause and Suspend. If there are a few cases in Australia linked to the border, quarantine-free travel will continue. Travel may be paused for 72 hours if there are rogue community cases and in the instance of a state or nationwide lockdown, travel will be suspended.

Council chief financial officer Jason Beck said any affected residents should investigate the council's other options in preparation of the end date.
"Cheques have been steadily falling out of favour with many of our customers over recent years, but the banks’ decision to phase them out completely has really hastened the need for those remaining residents and businesses to shift to a different solution,” he said.
"We provide a variety of payment options to suit customers’ preferences. If you are unsure which solution would work for you, please speak to your bank, or come in and chat to our friendly customer service team, or email rates@hurunui.govt.nz".
Other payment options include:
- Direct debit (the council's preferred options)
- In-person using cash, eftpos, credit or debit card at the council's Amberley offices, or at the Amberley Library and the Cheviot, Amuri and Hanmer Springs Library & Service Centres.
- Online on the council website using a credit or debit card www.hurunui.govt.nz...
-Internet bank transfer

The Christchurch Food Show is returning to Christchurch Arena this weekend after Covid-19 cancelled the 2020 show. It will feature more than 120 exhibitors serving up a smorgasbord of unique food and drink.
The show’s stalls offer options from cured meats to plant-based milk bases, chocolates and cheeses, to seafood sourced from the Chatham Islands, and much more.
Live guest chef performances are headlined by celebrity chef and entrepreneur Nadia Lim, along with food writer Annabelle White and cooking personality Ganesh Raj.

If yes to any of these questions, then please see our buyers this week. We will buy single items or complete collections.
The recent lockdown has seen many of us take the time to sort items we no longer require or simply want to turn into cash.
We are currently very short of stock and keen to buy any of these or similar items.
Please see us at any of our 18 venues in the Christchurch area.
Buying now at a venue near you deal with the specialists.
