The border closure between NSW and Victoria is a double blow for Albury coffee cart business owner Darren Jackson. Not only will it jeopardise half his customer base, who come from the Victorian side of the border, it has thrown doubt on whether he will be able to see his children.

Mr Jackson will race across the border on Tuesday to be with his two children, aged six and eight, who live with his ex-wife in Benalla, Victoria, before the border closes at midnight.
