Australia's international border reopened on Monday almost 600 days after a pandemic closure began, sparking emotional scenes at Sydney airport as loved ones reunited.
Shortly after dawn, bleary-eyed passengers began to trickle into the arrivals terminal at Kingsford Smith International and were quickly wrapped up in the tearful embraces of flower-clutching relatives.
Tim Turner, who had not seen his son for more than a year, said it was "pretty brilliant" that they were now able to reunite.Julie Choo, who flew back from the UK to visit her sick mother in hospital, said she was trying not to cry as the plane touched down. Those conditions have now been dropped for the country's two largest cities -- Sydney and Melbourne -- which will now allow vaccinated Australians to come and go without quarantine of any kind."I haven't seen my family for four years, we've been trying to get in for a year and a half," she said.
"It's wonderful to see Australians able to reunite with loved ones after such a long time apart," he said.
