This is what scares me and why I'll be setting up the bush house as somewhere I can work from remotely. At some point Victoria has to resume managing people flying in from overseas and I have little faith in them being able to do it successfully.
It’s not a question of it will escape quarantine in Victoria again, it’s how well they manage the inevitable outbreak and whether Dan has any plans other than locking down the entire state again.

I know, who would want to go to Adelaide?

me too, I love the Limestone coast.

I've always wanted to buy a block near a beach. I have friends with blocks on ninety-mile (Seaspray, Golden Beach area) who are trying to convince me to buy over there. Why would I when I can buy on Limestone for the same price. Better beaches, weather, fishing.

It would only take 2 bullets to get the Beatles back together.

Considering we're still months behind other states in getting software set up, and I have no faith the contact tracing has actually improved (it's easy with no cases) my reckoning is Lockdown will be Plan A when the inevitable happens and I plan to be out of here before it happens.

Spare computer is being renovated, got 2 2nd hand monitors, spare chair and renovated the old computer desk (I don't throw stuff away) so I'll be all set up. Going up Monday with a ute and trailer load full. I can test next week how it works if I use my mobile data rather than getting internet connected/

Wonder if we’ll soon get to a stage where Victoria is the only state not in lockdown.
