A grandmother is “super excited” to meet her granddaughter thanks to the relaxation of travel rules in Australia.

Ellen O’Malley Dunlop, 69, has not seen her Sydney-based son, Stuart Dunlop, in more than two and a half years thanks to lockdowns and restrictions to curb the spread of Covid-19 over the past 18 months.
