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.
