A breakdown in security at quarantine hotels in Victoria released the virus into the Melbourne community.

And before the border between that state and NSW was closed, it made its way north with Sydney now the centre of some hot spots.
Granted the figures are not as bad as some other countries but it was thought that the extremely strict restrictions brought in after April had nipped the problem in the bud.

Restrictions were subsequently reduced.
Of course many of the population then thought it was ‘all over’ and began to ignore the rules still in place eg. limited group numbers, social distancing and mask wearing.
As a result a return to increased restrictions is again in the pipeline.

Our ‘scare’ with the virus arriving in Batemans Bay just to the south has not yet eventuated into something more serious. However the town has been devastated by this event on top of the bushfires earlier in the year.
We are glad to be able to ride this out at home with minimal inconvenience.
A lot of people are doing it extremely tough out there.
Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, with a population of 5 million is almost in complete lockdown.
Picture below is of the main station there which is usually the busiest part of the city.
