Looks like the run'o'the mill entitled pricks to me. It's exactly that type of numbskull who stuffs it up for all the good people making sacrifices and doing the right thing. Can't we just bring back the stocks and throw balls of Shite at them? Just sayin'.

In Isolation for the GG family after a 16 hour haul across the border canonball run style, this Shit just never gives up. Tested this morning and hanging out at home waiting for a msg.

Ok just to enlighten you to my state of mind at the mo. I live not very far from Heyfield, Vic. Pretty well the gateway to the high country. Ovef the last week or so we (Heyfield) have had pretty well a procession of 4wd/campers/caravans etc come through here, and it is absolutly fantastic for the local economy. But, and yes here's the but, the amount  of people that think they don't have to obey the mask rules or sanitise when entering shops/ servos, is mind blowing. That is putting our whole community at risk. The community that has done the right thing for soo long. Don't  get me wrong, most people sre doing the right thing but there is enough of them not. So excuse me sir if I am a little peeved. Not having a go at you mate. Just saying.

The Clarence Valley's hidden gems has become magnet for QLDers & Vic campers.
They join local FB groups and have no problem asking locals, does such & such have many camped there?
Are we able to camp at xyz?
Just for Shits & giggles I parked next to the Brooms Head rd today(11am), the amount of traffic heading towards Brooms Head, qld plated vehicles.
 Then on the way home there were 7 dual caravans waiting for the ferry heading to only God knows where
It's been raining most of the day, not the best weather to be traveling.
I noticed the Lawrence Tavern had closed it's camping out the back yesterday.
New years eve we had booked for dinner there with a couple of friends, one group got the sh1t5 because,
1) they had not booked,
2) they refused to fill out contact detail or scan the QR thingy.
WTF
You don't use magic to disappear, all you need is a 4wd & a Swag ;)

Always 2 sides to a story...

“We really are very sorry for the mess that this has caused,” Mr Elford wrote in an email to news.com.au. “Like hundreds of others on 1 January 2021, we got caught up with the confusion when the rules about entering Victoria changed.

“We had a permit, live in a green zone in NSW, were flying from Canberra airport which is allowed, and after we arrived in Tullamarine, we were stopped by DHS officers who were not able to tell us whether or not we needed to quarantine, so after about an hour or so we walked away.

“We attended an outdoor family BBQ before flying back into Canberra as planned that same afternoon so that Debbie could get to her obstetric appointment on Tuesday. This was all in line with the plans we had outlined to DHS officers.

“We were really shocked when we woke this morning to this media story, and following that have proactively contacted our local police in Goulburn to sort this out.

“We also have proactively gone to get a COVID-19 test this morning, and will be self-isolating.”

I agree there is always two sides to any story. It's why I  gave you my reason for thinking that way.

I think the Vic government had ne idea just how many people were over the border and have been swamped. Testing stations should be open longer and the people manning them paid accordingly. 

We want yesterday 2 hours early and still only just got a spot with it closed up to capacity half an hour later. 3 hour wait for testing. There would be many people that would say bugger this and just go out in the world doing their own thing.

4 negative tests for us with less than 24 hr turnaround. Great work to the testing teams doing a bloody hard job.
