A gloom hangs over Easter

Another gloomy start to the day. No-one out surfing. The gloom is reflected by our first mandate to wear masks since the pandemic began (in regional areas outside Brisbane, Queensland). Some community transmission means we are in a 3 day lockdown for Brisbane (not here- yet). This is causing rapid gloom over the tourism industry here with Easter one of the busiest times of year and some states declaring Brisbane a hotspot.
