Given that there are currently restrictions on movement and travel for Covid-19, in today's episode Helen covers the value of local tourism and of exploring the attractions in your own backyard. Tourism is a significant part of the economies of regional Australia and we often are very ordinary tourists in our own towns. So now is a great opportunity to be a tourist in your own area so that your local area is regionally supported and has a much-needed economic boost. Plus, you get to explore all the wonderful things to see and do close to home. Thank you for tuning into the Outback Way podcast. If you are enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review.
