Anyone Else Look Like They Will Have To Reinstate Their NSW Citizenship?

Well an organised trip to collect my caravan and spend some time with family over Xmas has gone "belly up". Although we are currently residing in a caravan park located in the "green zone" we cannot obtain a permit to transit thru Victoria to get to Tassie on the Spirit because we drove thru Sydney to get here.

Even if we take the option to avoid Sydney on our return journey we are still illegible to travel thru Victoria.

Appreciate if anyone has good knowledge of free or moderate priced camps around Albury where we could spend some time waiting on a change in fortune and the date booked to return on the Spirit coming closer.

Wondering if others are in a like predicament awaiting on the restrictions being eased.

 

Thanks in advance

Is it safer to be further west than Albury, it's the sort of higher profile place that could end up on a red zone quite easily at some point in time. It's a busy place.

It you are more remote it could be the "insurance" you need to keep quarantine to 14 days.

Just a thought!

Does it make any sense to go across to South Australia,and back to Victoria via Bordertown,for example.?Or are there still restrictions to Victoria from South Australia? Just an idea,and surely beats sitting in a van park! Cheers

Don't know about now, but four weeks ago when I had to jump into Vic and stay 14 days and put back our spirit booking by 2 weeks because SA fell in a heap there were no slots available for three weeks. Talking to others since then it sounded as if booking were getting tighter - but maybe the Sydney situation has resulted in some cancellations.

There are plenty of free camps around the Albury-Wodonga area along the Murray River. I expect at this time of the year it will be busy but not everyone wants to free camp without power and water so maybe you will get a good spot.
Do some research and go the the vistors information centre as they used to have a small booklet that listed a lot of the areas for free camping.
good luck I am sure you will find something even this time of the year

Take a daily photographic record where you are just in case you need evidence that you are isolated.

Gravy, There are some T S R ( travelling stock routes) around here(Albury), some may be sign posted " no camping", a recent innovation to protect Govt from people. But I doubt there will be much policing of this.

Albury Showground. We stayed there in Feb 2020. Plenty of space, power and water, and clean ammenities. Donation ($10??) per night.

Thank to everyone for their advice, we managed to get around the gauntlet and arrived home in Tassie this morning. Fair degree of red tape and permit applications. To get around the Sydney situation we totally avoided the Hume Highway and travelled down to Victoria via the Newell, great free camps at Dubbo and Mirrool then across the border at Corowa.

No queue to negotiate and the police were happy to accept that we had travelled and stayed in the "Green Zone". Had to stay in a Caravan Park to negotiate obtaining a Tassie Permit to come back over the ditch on the Spirit and providing there are no cases identified at the locations we stayed in Vic we should return to our normal retired modus operatum.

Hope everyone else experiences good fortune.
