For British banker Roger Smyth, Australia’s border reopening could not come soon enough. After landing at Sydney Airport on Monday morning, he embraced his girlfriend Danni Wang for the first time in three months -- the pair now plan to marry during Smyth’s week-long visit.
"I tried every day to get here,” says Smyth, who met Wang in Tokyo before she moved to Australia to study. “We tried to make it on Valentine’s Day, I applied for an exception, but I got declined.”
