Lockie Baker: I liked not having to rush every morning and being able to do my work whenever I wanted. I also liked doing fun things like morning bike rides around the Ski Dam, making a worm farm, doing experiments, and riding the four-wheeler and fishing at the farm with my Dad.

Peter Tzinos: I work seven days a week so every day is an event for me.

Moana Duggan from Lakeside Takeaway: It has forced us to budget more, consider where our income comes from in terms of sales. While our lifestyle hasn’t changed too much, seeing our customers each day has kept us balanced and sane and vice versa. It has been great to see customers from different situations, like those home-schooling and enjoying it, and not enjoying it, farmers who are celebrating the rain we’ve had, those who have lost work, come together (at a social distance) to talk and form new friendships on their morning coffee run. There is a real sense of community and of being in this together.

Umima Austral: Yes and no. I think the rules outside are clear but there is still some confusion with rules around the household and visitors.

Tina Bray: I work and walk around the lake a whole lot more than usual.

Geoff Chase: Those with depression can hide it outside the family, at home it’s a different story. Softly, softly-more nurturing and understanding the symptoms. Communication can break the isolation, talk to someone who has been through it.
