@Oakeslaw @LansdowneClubAU @australiapost @Postvox @GlobalIrish @ITabroad @NSWGAA @SydQueerIrish @iasrb_melbourne @IrishFilmFestAU It took over 3 months for a birthday card posted at home to reach Sydney and that was before the most recent lockdown! Clearly, the sorting depots have been badly affected.

@LansdowneClubAU @australiapost @Postvox @Irish_Support @GlobalIrish @ITabroad @NSWGAA @SydQueerIrish @iasrb_melbourne @IrishFilmFestAU Over June/August period took 47 days for DL size letter posted from Blue Mountains, Sydney, on 24 June to arrive in Rathmines, Dublin on 10 August. At roughly 7 weeks, in 20 years of living in Ireland, never experienced such a length of time. Mind you, in middle of Oz lockdown.

An update for those who are trying to send parcels (letters still getting through) back to Ireland. ☘️ 📦 📬 💚 @australiapost @Postvox @Irish_Support @GlobalIrish @ITabroad @NSWGAA @SydQueerIrish @iasrb_melbourne @Irish_Support @IrishFilmFestAU #LDCSydney

@IrelandSydney @CliffsofMoherIE @GoToIrelandOz Princess Bride....another good reason to rewatch!!!! I know the scenes but had no idea it was filmed at home!

Located in County Clare, the @CliffsofMoherIE are over 300 million years old! This jaw-dropping location with its uniquely rugged landscape has been the backdrop of many famous films & TV shows including Harry Potter, the Princess Bride & Father Ted. Tour:bit.ly/3zLS9Lf
