But by the time we landed, like 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: within that next half hour, then the Border Force guy 17 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: came on and said we were going straight to Howard Springs. 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: Wow, I mean yeah, I reckon they would have been. 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: What was the reaction from you and the other passengers. 20 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: I think initially when the pile, nobody was expecting that 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 2: we really weren't we were aware. Well, certainly me and 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: my husband were aware of the evening before about the 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,919 Speaker 2: four cases. I didn't really know, probably ignorant, you didn't 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 2: take too much notice, but had a little bit of 25 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: a thought of thankfully, we're going back home in the morning. 26 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 2: So it was the last thing we expected, genuinely, and 27 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: I really do think the rest of the plane were 28 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: exactly the same. 29 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: It was. 30 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: It was a bizarre feeling because the initial reaction was 31 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: for myself speaking for myself, with a panic Yeah, but 32 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: I don't even I can't. It sounds really dramatic, but 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 2: you just go into the oh oh oh. 34 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: Oh, I reckon you. 35 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so what was the little bit of anxiety 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: and stuff? 37 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, oh, there'd be so many things that would 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: run through your head, including, you know, if I got 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: clothes for two weeks, what am I going to do 40 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: for food? What do I need to tell my work? 41 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: All sorts of things, and yeah, and we've. 42 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 2: Got a dog in kennels as well. That was he 43 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: was my first was one of my first thoughts was 44 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: my my my dogs at the furry godmother what I 45 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: don't know, a joke reaction of old panic. Yeah, yeah, 46 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: you just need to digest that for a while. 47 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: Allison, what's been the process then, you know, from the 48 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: plane in terms of getting into quarantine. 49 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: So we literally we we came off the plane, we 50 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: were just directed through through the airport, had had tests, 51 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: we have the paperwork we had to bring backward as anyway, 52 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: So we went through that process and literally straight on 53 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: straight on the bossy and we're then brought through to 54 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: how It's rings. Pretty. It was a pretty It was 55 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: a really quick process and everyone all the stuff, everybody, 56 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: I mean, it was I suppose it was very very quick, 57 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: short notice for those guys too, Yeah, you know, taking 58 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: that into consideration, and so yeah, the process was seamless 59 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 2: from from my point of view, from our point of view, 60 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: and when we got to Howard Springs then obviously they 61 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: they've done it a few times before, so it was, 62 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: you know, a well oiled machine. And literally we were 63 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: just chaperone through all the paperwork completed and then brought 64 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: to your rooms. We were giving food, we were giving 65 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: slaps straight away. Yeah, and they obviously and they obviously 66 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: the stuff here. I'm sure we're quite aware that certainly 67 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: for our plane load were in shock that we were like, 68 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: what's happening? And they were they were. They were just great. 69 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: They were just so considerate of that, Ellie. So I 70 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: speak really highly about how the staff were or are here. Yeah, 71 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: and how they handled us yesterday morning, for sure. 72 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: Well that is I mean, that's really good to hear Allison, 73 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: twenty four hours in. How you I mean, how are 74 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: you feeling now that you've sort of had a bit 75 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: of time for it to settle in and yeah. 76 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: And so much different from yesterday morning. So we have 77 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: so one of my our first thoughts was we've only 78 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: gone for a weekend, a bit of a long weekend, 79 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: and so we I just thought, I've just got a suitcase, 80 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: well a small suitcase full of dirty clothes, but nothing 81 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 2: toiletryes non and that kind of thing. But but look, 82 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: we've put an order into Wooly if they do a 83 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: click and collect the staff here collect that for you. 84 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: And we've had we've we've been fared, we've slept, we've 85 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: got our rooms. You kind of know the lay of 86 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: the land now, and then you just literally take stock 87 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: and go, do you know what we are? We could 88 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: be so much worse. We're not in hospital, We're not 89 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: we as far as I know, we don't have COVID thankfully. 90 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: And we're in the safest place, one of the safest 91 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: places I reckon in the world. So you've just got 92 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: to be grateful for what you have, not not what 93 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: you haven't got it.
