But your hats are too big, and 10 degrees further north gives me some other targets

Perhaps there is a special exemption for the Nerdle flock migrating North. After all they were ok with their NRL team playing down here. Maybe a two week isolation period at the Astrofest site would meet requirements?

Mmmm maybe overkill but it is what it is.

I think it is a reverse phycology ploy..tell people they can't get into Queensland and they will want to go...hopefully this time next year we will look back and laugh.
I have to go there at some stage re my legs but happy now that I can not.

I'm sure they're not patrolling the entire border if you're feeling lucky.

Living 100kms from the border you do see a LOT of cars with border passes on the windows , lots of tradies travelling down from QLD and back every day working in construction and other industries and professions they are also moving around in the community getting fuel buying lunch etc and have been for a long time , plenty down the beach surfing to and a reasonable no of NSW plated cars going the other way as well ...Not sure what its achieving

My wife has to go to Qld for dental treatment (long unhappy story). For a while the clinic was closed but they are now open (at least enough to finish her job) and she was able to get a permit on-line pretty easy. She will carry a letter from the clinic confirming her reason for travel.

So, if you want to, you can probably get a travel exemption.

Thank you.
I am in no rush.
I see the doctors each year, MIR etc, but they say I am doing well but the pain will remain.

This is getting annoying.
I had paid for a trip to Port Douglas in June, for which I now have vouchers to use at a later date.

We had wanted to leave miserable Melbourne during the winter, not when the weather starts fining up down here.

And we had wanted to conduct trade between the States and buy Queensland food and hospitality. I think this border closure is unconstitutional.
Regards,
Renato
