It has served us well - but now Victorians can have freedom of movement in their own state again.

9 consecutive double donut days, active cases is down to just 4, and just 2 still in hospital. 14 day average is 0.4 so down to the same level as the NT. Incredible turn around but it came with a high price.

Now where should I go for a drive......[emoji40]

Please humour me for a tick?

Is the name "Ring of Steel" just a name for a Zone or did they really locate physical Barriers?

Have heard the name all these months but never saw an explanation.

Thanks.

On all major highways they had police roadblocks. Every car was stopped.

The government called it “the ring of steel”.

I had to go through it multiple times. The police were always professional - sometimes I got grilled sometimes I didn’t.

My travel time increased by 5 minutes at the start, through to an extra 50 minutes of sitting in traffic later on.

Thank God it’s now going !

The images I saw looked like a mega Booze Bus operation during peak hour.

Was unfortunate that originally the Ring of Steel also split the small community of Little River until they revised the border.

So it could have been called "The Ring of Cops" for want of a better name?

There are police and ADF, so not sure what to call it..

Was also known as Dan’s Great Wall of Melbourne.

Part of the Belt & Road initiative perhaps?

Power Rangers?
Great news to see Victorians getting the benefits of all the pain they've been through.
Victoria is now safer than Sydney. Well done Mexicans!

Must be time to close the borders. [emoji40]

We had a near miss with an arrival who had come via WA. [emoji12]
