State V State re Co-Vid 19

C,mon Victoria ...  Get with the times and let your people start to rejoice and enjoy what we in Queensland and other States will experience from today.

Mind you..... If the new rules are not obeyed by many I D I O T S then we will be back to ISOLATION.

""Do the right thing "" has been a motto for decades and is never more important than ever before in our lifestyle from today.

Happy Days 

Jay&Dee

 

After almost five weeks of tough lockdown measures, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk ( Also Known as Pluck a Chook  )   announced some stay-at-home restrictions would be lifted.

From Saturday, Queenslanders will be able to leave their homes for recreation and the distance they can travel has been extended to 50 kilometres.

The new rules mean residents can now:

  • Go for a drive
  • Ride a motorbike, jet ski or boat for pleasure
  • Have a picnic
  • Visit some national parks see the list here
  • Shop for non-essential items

But physical distancing guidelines remain in place and outings are limited to members of the same household, or an individual and one friend.

As has always been the case, Queenslanders can continue to have two visitors to their house.

Queensland Police said it would be deploying an extra 140 officers to patrol increased levels of outdoor activity in the state.

What about Queenslanders who are visiting NSW? :)

More importantly; how about Victorians visiting Queensland?

And what about French people who were stuck in the NT but now wish to visit Qld?

I hope all of the "Banana-benders" on this forum enjoy their freedom without breaking the rules!
So where can I go, besides around town? Cungulla, Giru - both south, Rollingstone - north (might just get to the Frosty Mango for an ice cream), Calcium - west.

It's a good thing there are some nice bird watching locations before we get to these towns!

I have to go to Bunnings after lunch - all previous (enjoyable?) outings have been health & food related.

Sorry Mike, these "benefits" are for locals only & as far as I know the only Qld visitors to NSW are for work only.

And our Premier? She has plenty of names here in NQ including Puddleduck

Warren, you don't have to go that far for a nice ice cream mate. My favourite when in downtown Townsville is 'Juliette's' on the Strand. Niiiice. Have one for me if you go there.

Mind you, 'Frosty Mango' runs a close second.




Keep Safe out there.

It is hard to rejoice and enjoy if you are dead.

A lot of religious people would give you an argument about that.

Keep in mind a recent poll had the QLD premier as the least popular and a state election coming up. So ask yourselves why the restriction are being lifted. After all it wasn't long ago she was acting tough. And when she confronts the teacher union she will have more credit. Same in Vic. Ask yourselves which flea is wagging the dogs tail.

I am in Vic, never been limited to 50Km

Nearest major centre (Bendigo) is more than 50Km away (just), but for groceries, supplies and medical it offers what is needed, unlike our local community (nearest - 6Km)

What I am completely over is the leisure travel aspect.

I like to get out on my motorcycle roughly fortnightly and do a stooge around the countryside, lunch in a pub I have never been to before and return home, generally 400 - 500Km in the day.

Being at home working in the garden, the shed and around our property (6ac) in central Vic, quite frankly has its limitations, even with the "essential travel".

However, I am so glad that we no longer live in the northern suburbs of Melb on our little 1/8acre (guess) block.
