regional victoria travel voucher scheme

Ever since it was announced, I was excited about the $200 travel voucher scheme to boost the economy of the regional Victoria.

The 120,000 vouchers would enable any family which would travel to the regional Victoria and spend $400 or more to get $200 cashback.

The scheme as revealed on 10th December 2020, consisted of three rounds each consisting of 40,000 vouchers.
