Cut to the Covid-19 pandemic; Australia closed its borders, bringing tourism to its knees. Since then, the ICC T20 World Cup has been pushed to 2022, and while the India tour of Australia did carry on as planned, Indian fans couldn’t travel to watch it live.

A $500,000 government bushfire recovery project will improve the pathway from Cooee Bay Beach to Wreck Point and Lammermoor Beach, including stairways, rest areas, boardwalk, a memorial bench seat and beach access.
It is one of 12 projects announced by the Australian and Queensland governments to support areas of Queensland affected by the 2019-20 bushfires.
Member for Capricornia Michelle Landry said the project would be a great boost for the Capricorn Coast.
“The Capricorn Coast is a world-class tourist destination that we have the privilege of having right here in Central Queensland,” she said.
“A project like this will help to further cement it’s position as a prime destination for locals to enjoy and interstate travels to visit.
