It was a little ambiguous when a potential northern NSW positive visit was mentioned in the press conference earlier in the day.
Little information was divulged as NSW Health were still trying to piece it together.
Just had a look at a map, to get to Molong they had to pass thru Lithgow, Bathurst and Orange. Scroll in & out to see.

My place has probably gone up by 30 to 40% in 6 months.

I imagine for remote regions Health would heavily rely on locals ringing a Police hotline , so very difficult to stay on top of it. The Qld border at the Gold Coast the other day had over a thousand cars checked and only one turned back. That could mean that people are being very good, or bypassing the coast .I know if you know your way around there are any number of places to cross the border , and I doubt there are enough Police to cover them all.Quote:

The also stopped at South Bowenfels, probably it was at the Servo on the highway, but they still need to touch the bowser and go into the shop.
We won't know until next week, I guess. But if they didn't come face to face with some one, I don't know if you can pick covid up from touching, although I seem to recall something very early in the piece on that. It may be the towns they passed thru have dodged a bullet, but it's a worry for residents there for sure. Any news on Goulburn? If there are infections there they should be showing up by now I think.Quote:

Torquay must be getting soft.......... if anyone (outa towner) just surfed there years ago and upset the locals you would get 'educated'.
