As the chief executive of real estate classifieds giant REA Group, Owen Wilson's business depends on what’s going on at street level. So as Melbourne suffered during its second lockdown, that's exactly where he headed.

“During our second lockdown in Melbourne, I managed to clock up over 1000 kilometres walking the streets of my local suburb and lost 12 kilograms in the process,” Wilson said. “I am hoping to continue the walking and maybe the weight will stay off.”

James Thomson is senior Chanticleer columnist based in Melbourne. He was the Companies editor and editor of BRW Magazine.

Tony Boyd is the former Chanticleer columnist. He has more than 35 years' experience as a finance journalist.
