Several regional NSW communities face an anxious wait to see if they have been exposed to the coronavirus after an infected Melbourne woman road tripped through the state for four days.
The woman made stops in Gillenbah, Dubbo, Forbes and Moree on her way to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, where she tested positive to the virus on Tuesday.
Eleven venues in the four towns have been identified by NSW Health as potential exposure sites, with more expected.
Among them are two service stations, Moree Woolworths, several cafes and the Reading Cinemas in Dubbo.

As a commuter, I was always captivated by the tranquil landscape of the Hawkesbury River on the otherwise monotonous train journey between the Central Coast and Sydney. For 13 blissful minutes, the busy urban streets and graffiti-covered buildings along the train line were replaced by an almost otherworldly scene unfolding outside the window.
Mobile phone reception waned, causing a literal and metaphorical disconnection as the train snaked its way along the gentle, glass-like river, which is framed by honey-coloured sandstone chasms and thick bushland.

Perth. After a year of bushfires, floods, and drought, the Australian agricultural industry is on the road to recovery. One of the countries that will play a major role in helping heal this industry is Australia’s biggest neighbor, Indonesia.
Several factors may add the pace to future growth of bilateral trade, such as Australian and Indonesian government initiatives, recent economic agreements, and a long-term cultural and trade relationship. In 2020, the two-way trade between Australia and Indonesia in various industries related to agriculture was estimated to be A$3.1 billion (US$2.4 billion).

Spare a thought for the everyday Australians who share their streets and backyards with ripped roos.
When Kellie Baker shared a pic of a bulked-up kangaroo in Canberra, it inspired others in the Australian capital to share pictures of their own encounters.
