    This has really been a great social experiment of what calibre of person is living amongst us

    I just got back from "My Exercise" .... cough cough, standing and watching the ocean when a few locals rocked up
    One whom is taking this very serious drove in wearing surgical gloves in his car, then pops out holding a take away coffee
    I asked him why he was wearing gloves, he replied, because i'd bought the take away coffee, the person handled the cup and lid....

    I then reminded him, that holding his beloved coffee with his surgical gloves wasn't doing much when he put the cup in his mouth to take a drink

    People are so funny

    Stage 3

    Horse Racing is alive and well??

    I have no idea how come Horse Racing has been given the golden pass, talk about Unnecessary!!
    Bringing groups of Trainers, Stable hands, Staff, Jockeys, Officials, Vets, Handlers, TV Crew, from all over the state together in a confined space...
    But its all OK according to SlowMo, State Gov etc

    How? It must be Essential

    Just got a text from Essential Energy that they are cutting power to my area on 16th april for half a day.

    Great timing, when everyone is stuck at home, to be with no electricity.

    Obtaining food is not an excuse to go fishing(with a recreational fishing license) unless it clearly says you can, which it is clearly not:

    Victoria stage 3 is ridiculous.

    Here is my stage 3. Police go down to Portsea/Sorrento. Check the address on everyones licence and send them to the address on it to live....ie Toorak. Set up a police point at the end of the freeway at Rosebud and same on Point Nepean rd and question anyone who is not a permanent resident. Send them back if they dont belong.
    That will fix the problem down here, which has the highest number in the state thanks to the rich from Toorak infecting the place.

    I had to do a 5 hour round trip to central victoria late last week to check on my widowed mother in law and Melbourne was empty.
    Hit the Peninsula and traffic was as usual, no reduction at all.

    You might find this an interesting read



    New public health orders in NSW, Victoria and Tasmania will allow courts to jail Australians who leave home without a reasonable excuse including those who attempt to head to their holiday house to ‘self-isolate’.
    The new orders expressly prohibit citizens ‘self-isolating’ at beach holiday homes: “Taking a holiday in a regional area is not a reasonable excuse.”
    The situation regarding holiday homes in Victoria is unclear, but with Easter coming, I expect it will follow NSW.
    New public health orders in NSW, Victoria and Tasmania will allow courts to jail Australians who leave home without a reasonable excuse including those who attempt to head to their holiday house to ‘self-isolate’. The NSW orders direct that a person must not, without reasonable excuse, leave the person’s place of residence.
