What a joke

The Karara Rangelands are virtually over the road and should suit your purposes.

There could be various reasons why Ninghan have made that decision but it is theirs to make.

Doesn't sound like a joke.
You can ring into work and let the boss know you won't be there for the rest of 2020. I endorse that, the boss is an understanding person, isn't he/she. Probably think it is a joke from you. However, apart from no doctor down the road for station owners, your situation is entirely different to a station being able to run. If one person there gets it, they all get it, then who runs the station and stock management, will you do it for them if they get crook? I am sure you would do it for them. You won't be missed at work but out there they will be missed. Although many of your travellers are 4wd enthusiasts, it seems they are not station enthusiasts or understanding of their decision. Is it a right or a privilege to be able to go there? I have worked on some stations and looked after some and the owners don't like people who "expect".
"Disappointment comes in various ways in life".

You must be a doctor to make an comment like you have.
It is their decision and you seem to be disrespectful of their decisions.
Like has been said elsewhere, the medical facilities are not a kilometre or so away.
They probably do not need people with your attitude quarantined on the station, too.

If Coronavirus became more widespread back home, the first thing I'd do is hook up the caravan and go remote and sit it out. Maybe they are concerned about people doing the same.

Sounds like a very smart decision by the station owners as our authorities are extremely slack in the way they are attempting to contain the spread It's like they want it to happen. We still have so many people coming in and out of the country and people should be quarantined before they leave infected countries so they don't carry it instead we let them land on our shores and ask if they self quarantine or they just wander around and spread it with no regards to their fellow man what a joke. You can't in any way blame or be disrespectful of isolated communities or areas in Aus if they make a decision to not want tourist visiting. This is the time people need to stop being selfish and think it's the end of the world because their precious holiday plans have been disrupted they are looking after their future, yours so you can still visit when it all clears up. If they get a case out there bought in by a tourist they might just shut the doors forever it's a big country plenty of other places to visit you've been given a months notice which is pretty good better than a week.

I guess its everybody's decision on how they run their business but it seems odd to me.

I reckon there might be more than a few more risky places than an outback station stay.

Like my local Woolworths where there were people waiting at the empty toilet paper aisle this morning for the 11.30 delivery.

Or the footy next weekend.

Ninghan is not exactly the end of the earth either.

I am planning a road trip to the Eastern states in a few weeks. Hope this doesn't become a trend.

Cheers

At the rate Superannuation is dropping at present because of the coronavirus hardly anyone will be able to afford to travel / holiday even if fuel is $1 a litre.

Wow what a difference of attitude between Ninghan station and the APY lands. Why the difference ?
Just saying.

Remoteness of any location means nothing if a tourist carries the virus to that location.
And it isn’t the flu.

As things stand today, I can go to the shop (which I did and there still no toilet paper in my local Woolies and kitchen towels are rationed) . Then the bank. Then maybe catch a movie.

After I could see my mates at the pub for a few beers and then head to the airport for a redeye to Melbourne.

After a long lunch with some more mates I could be off to the races at Moonee Valley (Hope they on).

Saturday and Sunday at the grand prix before a few more pubs on Sunday night.

If I'm still alive after all that socialising on Monday I can fly back to Perth.

Then I might need some RandR out in the bush to get over all that so I could maybe chuck the swag in the car (there's always spare toilet paper packed) and head off.

But not to Ninghan Station .

I guess it's sometimes a fine line being careless and cautious but I am wary these says of overreacting to anything, including share market crashes.

Cheers

Their place their rules.

How naive do most of the posts in this thread appear just 4 weeks later!
