Melburnians are free, well almost...

...sorta like being a little bit pregnant I suppose...

[#jonesy]

Finally some freedom.
Sunday hit me pretty hard with no change.  Even a small one would have been better.  Our LGA has been on zero for ages, but still locked down.  Mitchell LGA is rural and has cases on and off but still has freedom.

Still not sure when we and millions of others trying to cram in there can go...

I hear farkaway downs is nice this time of year, not to many crowds either, you don't need to win a photography competition, set up well in open space should sell the dream enough.

Queensland Borders.   If this decision is based on Health, it is about six months late.   The vast majority of Regional NSW has been COVID 19 free for that long, meaning South East Queensland has more COVID 19 and we have a greater chance of getting COVID 19 by going into SEQ.   

Maybe more a case of the Queensland Health does not believe they can handle COVID 19 or a cynical Political ploy.   

Oh well, Dad will be 90 on Monday, hopefully I can get in to see him on Tuesday.

Wont be long till we are back to sq 1...

Shopping centers with 3-4km queues to get in.
Then you have to fight for god knows how long to find that 1 parking spot that 500 are looking for.
Then you get into the shops, **** knows how insane the queues would be to get to the 2 registers that are open out of 20

local park with kids play ground was standing room only, no masks, people shoulder to shoulder in their dozens..

Roads are FULL heading south and to the beaches..

Could see that coming a mile away.
We will shut the WA border before it even opens if things go south again over east.
There's a lot if huffing from politicians about the need to open WA up to the rest off Oz, but most parts off WA's economy is buzzing. The general consensus I get from others is leave it shut(until it affects them personally). Iron ore is booming and sucking up the trades, rental vacancies are lowest since 2008. Shopping centres are full, tourist centres are chockers.
Don't get me wrong, I reckon we are complacent here. It's only a matter of time before it gets in and then it will be a different story.

People need to stop being self centered Twats.
There are many busting their arses to do what is right, but as usual there are those that believe rules don't apply to them.

the reality is - it isnt going to 100% go away, we've known that for a long time.. thats the issue. it isnt 'just a cold' which I still have mates telling me.
but its what to do from here is the 23942830942830942309203498$ question

So what Victorians are allowed to do now

Just to put some perspective into the whole Covid thing.
Just heard on 10 News, 30 000 people a week are dying in Europe, Covid.
I can't confirm that number, and  it was also reported(on the idoit box) that 1700 American's a day are dying.

Shit, Australians, we've done good.
Don't complain.

And yet we still get b1tch1ing about border closures???

Who remembers the Tic Gate Pacific H/way at New Italy(south of Woodburn nsw)?
You would be stopped, asked where you had come from & where you where going, they would walk around your vehicle, susing it out.
If it was at night, they would shine a torch light into the vehicle.
There was also one between Tabulam and Tenterfield on the Bruxner Highway.
Nobody b1tch about that.

I've just been reminded in another group, the was a Tic Gate on the Summerland H/Way near Whiporie.
Same thing, ever vehicle pulled up.

And also the mandatory fruit inspection at the Tweed, every car stopped and searched for fruit until about the 70's. There was the short lived fruit fly inspections when travelling south from North Qld for a few years, but there is a still a mandatory stop and search for southbound traffic on Cape York, and also for everyone entering S.A.

So border inspections are not a new thing, but border closures are.

You are right, it is just something we need to deal with.
Not saying I agree with the way it has happened.

There used to be one of those on the NSW/VIC border at Cann river.
It became an unmanned bin around the early/mid-'70's I think....
