I found out that we are having a public holiday Monday 26th for the Queens funeral/memorial, though that is my day off anyway.
Also, we no longer need to wear masks, the mandates have been dropped.
Otherwise the amazing thing I learned is it costs $30 for an uber from my place into town. But if driving into town in own car, it costs $12 for parking for the night so, its still cheaper to go in your own car, even with cost of petrol to factor in. That is if the car parks are not all full.
So I dont really know what the big deal is about Uber. If you dont have a car maybe its cheaper than a taxi but not much.
