So why is NSW stopping ACT residents from driving from a Covid-19 free area in regional Victoria? There was a small window where you could travel from Albury to Canberra. It would have taken us longer to drive to Albury(5.5-6 hours), with another 3.5 hours to Canberra (about 9-10 hours all-up), than to drive direct from where we are in Victoria (~5.5hours)
Our only alternative now is a train to Melbourne, bus / taxi to Tullamarine, fly to Canberra, taxi home. Too many potential points of exposure for people of our vintage.
If borders were open, they could 'time-stamp' us when we cross the Vic/NSW border, and again when we're home. We could drive non-stop (well maybe a toilet break). If they want to track us, we can supply GPS data from multiple sources (in-car, phone, watch).
As it is we're 'stuck' until NSW lifts it border restrictions.
