Well, I am in the age group now where, if it gets me, I will be put in a corner and left to fend for myself. The plan is to give priority to people under 65 and, if there are sufficient facilities, those up to 80. :Cry::attention:

So I have a few weeks grace but bugga that fella, I'd kick up an unholy stink, come up here I'll take you fishing, might not bring you back one day but sure to be better than a city hospital full of sick folk...........


hey @Boots in Action at Poona the mozzies and midges would become the biggest carriers of the Lurgy and it would all start again, think I might just head out to Quilpie or somewhere.

Unfortunately true @chartrock , like most of us. Might be time to hitch up the van loaded with supplies and self isolate in some distant place in the outback. Trouble is getting enough dunny paper to last months in the bush!!
Maybe find a patch of Australia not burnt so you do not have fight Kenny koala for first use of any gum leaves

So folk are going "Stir Crazy" being confined in their home or motel room for 2 weeks, a sailor would find that awesome, we lived closer than that to each other for more than 2 weeks quite often............. ( Pussers is a term for the Navy)

Well @Drover , the Poona Caravan Park has just advised that the Easter Fishing competition has been given the chop and also all the entertainment, fish and chip, sausage sizzle nights etc are off. Also allowing lesser minimum time there if people want to shorten stay. Might mean there is a chance there will be more fish around?? Also, park management are not allowing ANY visitors (those not booked) into park itself. Visitors must find some other place outside the park to congregate with their friends. Talk about tighter controls! Still might go and isolate myself in a good fishing spot.

Yep, happening all over, wish it applied to the sand flies as well.............some of my mob were going to have a get together up the road at Maroom, I think its got the chop as well...with other stuff getting closed or postponed I think an out of the way spot would be just the shot.....

Mate flew home from UK yesterday, now holed up in his van for the next 2 weeks, says trying to get supplies from supermarkets in WA is hopeless, empty aisles, we aren't that bad but if the tourists turn up we could be in trouble.

c'mon @Bluey its not April 1st yet...............

Gonna be fun to check out the specs on the thing, wonder if it piggy backs power from the tug or carries its own ????? or maybe like a tram, now there's a thought @Bluey you could set a pole and wire off your roof rack and tag along behind a Tram.............

Don't expect to find any Bum Fodder up here either, not sure if Anna The Plank will close the gate to QLD probably too late anyway... A couple of mates out further west saying folk aren't all that pleased with holiday makers lobbing into town and with most places to see closed not much to do but then if your stuck cheek to jowl in a city or major town, well then I would have rock an rolled weeks ago I think.....thankfully we have heaps of elbow room.... ( thats not an invite either)

Tom Hanks is just a kid !!!!!! He's only 63.......... looks older than me though.....my feel good moment for the day.

Stupity is spreading faster than the virus ................................... my son travels from Canberra to Bega every fortnight for work and he said he stopped at every place in the hope of getting some Bum Fodder, one of the shops he services in Bega said they have had folk from Sydney stocking up, we are talking a very big trip....... Gong to buy some bait today I suppose that been panic bought as well....on a good note Diesel and ULP here in Tin Can Bay are down to $1.22/lt .

They can "say" what they like but in this unprecedented meltdown it's impossible to close QLD borders, there are about a bizzilion places to cross, and its not logistically possible to lock it down. The threat-based resourcing focus is obvious, and will require the bulk of police resources where the population density is greatest in order to be able to respond to the real threat, potential urban anarchy across the vast urban cesspools. The plethora of backroads will be the least of their worries if this ignites, and that's what they will be planning for (or you'd want to hope that's what they're planning for)
