Catherine Bugmy from Wilcannia is currently in isolation at the Warrawong on the Darling. Following her positive test, she received a place in a cabin outside town, so she wouldn’t have to isolate at home with other people.

Gina Bortolin-Papa, an Italian-Australian grandmother, has been running her children's clothing and gift shop La Gardenia in Leichhardt for 40 years. While she has barely sold a thing during lockdown, only keeping the doors open so she can sign documents as a JP. It’s a neat place that is packed with toys, dolls, first communion and christening clothes, baby wear, religious icons and Italian CDs. There are rows of children’s fancy dress outfits for sale including Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, Spider-Man, Batman but, just now, no Elsa; the enduring popularity of Frozen means the character’s costume always sells out quickly.Credit:Louise Kennerley
