“The wait is over,” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said during a press conference on Sunday ahead of the re-opening.
“Pack your bags,” he told potential visitors, adding, “Don’t forget to bring your money with you, because you’ll find plenty of places to spend it.”
The first flight into Sydney Airport will arrive from Los Angeles at 6 am (1900 GMT), followed by arrivals from Tokyo, Vancouver and Singapore.
