Time to blow up the shire bridges too.

Yep.

The Hawkesbury needs to be blown up also so the Central Coast is protected from infected Sydneysiders - permanently!

We’ll just go the back way ?

Sorry but the Defence Force are setting up roadblocks even as I type this - stay away ?

Mate .. you can keep the central coast all to yourself ..
It’s like St Mary’s with a beach .

Not where I am ?

Where are you then ?

Toowoon Bay ?

Used to go to Shelly beach as kids
Gone downhill a lot ...

Yeah well I guess everything has gone downhill to how it was when we were kids. Too many people, too much ‘progress’, too much congestion now. It’s hard find a nice quiet, untouched place anywhere these days, though Broken Hill comes close lol.

Forresters Beach mate. Lovely spot and no tourists.

We can go to Hervey Bay and be the only people on the beach and still get a heap of quality whiting within 600 metres of the pier

Love catching whiting and love eating them. Very underrated fish.

Yes it’s an unpatrolled beach I believe, so there will naturally be less tourists there than the beaches like Wamberal and Terrigal that are near it. There are always still plenty of tourists round about though. Never free of them here, it’s too close to Sydney unfortunately.

It is unpatrolled and can be a little dangerous at times. There's a great little spot called Spoon Bay on the Wamberal side of the headland at the southern end of Forries.

You should be heading in the opposite direction. There are many great beaches on the South Coast. Port Kembla is way underrated because you automatically think steel works. Not so, it is a great little beach. Bring your partner and take her to
Tonitos.

I went back to the South Coast in June this year for the first time in over 20 years! It was nice actually and being winter it wasn’t crowded at all. We went a fair bit further down than Port Kembla though.

I must admit Port Kembla isn’t a place I would usually pick to go for a holiday, I don’t reckon many other people would either. Perhaps that’s why you found it so nice!

The beach is great and less crowded than many of the more popular locations and a straight forward day trip from Sydney. I was raised at Austinmer and know all the beaches the Park, Wombarra, Scarborough, Coledale, Sharky, Thirroul, Bulli and Port is right up there with water quality and surf.

Ah yes I’ve heard of Spoon Bay, but never been there. I must check it out soon ?

Hi @colinbh just thought that I would let you know that after the announcements and initial fanfare, despite that you may have heard from the propaganda arm of operation warped leader speed, the vaccines have been rolling out at a comparative snail's pace. Yes, whilst the manufacturer's warehouses were full with product awaiting transportation to the states that have been getting told that their allocations are now to be reduced significantly, millions of life saving shots sat in vials awaiting shipment instructions.

To address the public disinformation on delays despite having met all initial shipping requests and health workers waiting with empty needles whilst three thousand people are dying each day, Pfizer had to make a public statement that included "We have millions more doses sitting in our warehouse, but as of now, we have not received any shipment instructions for additional doses."

After all this time we had a week when we were informed that staff in NSW quarantine hotels were still concurrently working at other locations. Now quite unbelievably, 2 international arrivals were allowed to transit through Sydney's airport onto a domestic flight to Melbourne.

At least they were picked up in Melbourne, as this failure could have destroyed the opening up around the country.


We shouldn't even have quarantine hotels - our borders should be completely locked until its under control overseas. The only cases we are now recording are from those in quarantine or those working in quarantine. Someone is always going to ignore the rules and put the country at risk.

Didn’t want to join in a week or so ago when the above was posted, but remembered it and was thinking hasn't this post aged well.

Quarantine, just like the failures in aged care is a federal responsibility and should have been carried out by Morrison and his minions from day dot. No ifs or buts. This guy is not that dissimilar to the bloke on the other side of the Pacific in shirking and shifting responsibility, plus almost certainly was also looking at the let it wash approach before Andrews said enough and started closing things down. To then send the attack dogs to create division during the Melbourne lockdowns was despicable. I note the state is 50 days free from a community case this very day and flourishing

Too little too late from our national government in protecting our communities and getting Australians back home safely. Meanwhile we the taxpayers bail out our international airline with almost all their planes and staff sitting idle and Morrison allows the infected to stay at hotels of choice and roam around our cities. Plus we had a jobs for the boys near empty RAAF campaign plane flying over stranded citizens on Cormann's tour.

Enough you lazy bastard that doesn't take responsibility, nor like to work weekends and is on holidays again, likely with his photographer in tow. This when a year ago he left the country burning whilst pretending he wasn't in Hawaii, staying an extra day or two and the desperately needed for co-ordination defence minister took off for a break as well.

Yes, I am angry!

I certainly hope not, though reckon NSW was a day or two late in shutting down the north side and plenty of dollars short because they knew about problems of potentiality infectious foreigners mixing with the local community.

Though again, that is a federal issue.

Our contact tracing measures have been gold standard. I trust they will help mitigate the spread before we hit Victorian levels of spread. I would also hope the government announce appropriate restrictions.

I’m spewing the Sydney to Hobart race has been canned
Surely there’s 150 Mount Druitt locals who know a bit about sailing ..?
