Meanwhile, In Australia...

So for those of you who have no idea of what's happening in Australia, I highly recommend Jimmy Rees' Meanwhile, In Australia series.

Jimmy Rees is known to many Australians as "Jimmy Giggle", the human half of childrens' TV duo 'Giggle and Hoot'. He was younger then. (Weren't we all?) Anyway, he's become known to Australians as 'Jimmy Rees' after he started doing humourous vidoes about what was going on in Australia regarding COVID.
