We have been planning a big trip through W A ( 8/9 months ) from Victoria, but the Covid thing has not been helping. A couple of queries if anyone knows the answers...... is it possible to enter WA from NT or SA if one has self isolated in those states?
........ is outback camping considered self isolating?
..........are Great Central - Wapet Rd - Anne Beadel etc open or are they considered remote community areas and still closed?
I know I should look up govt. sites for these answers, but, they always leave me more confused than enlightened..... so I call on the brains trust here for easier information.
Thank you in anticipation, anyone who can assist
Regards
Murray

When are you planning to come.
The situation is still fluid and the WA government has shown that it will act quickly to close borders if there is an increase in cases in another state.
Do your best to understand the rules as published in the website.
“A bloke told me on a
forum it would be ok” probably won’t cut much ice if you break the rules, even inadvertently.
I hope things work out for you. I cancelled a trip east last year and I am not making big plans for 2021. I don’t want to get stranded interstate as thousands have been.
Cheers

Thanks Rocco
I understand your comment “ a bloke on the
forum” and agree with it wholeheartedly, but sometimes a simpler explanation of the rules helps.
We also don’t want to get stranded , but older age of vehicle, camper and self means a couple more years and we won’t be able to do it physically.
Hope thing work out for you with your planned trip.
Safe travels... be it inside your state or in the greater Aussie outback
Regards

Hi Murray,
I feel for you, but as Rocco has suggested, “a guy on a
forum”. You are most likely only going to get opinions on what rules mean, rather than explanations. You are better to ask questions on the various State Government Websites and COVID-19 hot lines rather than a
forum.
Good luck with your trip.
Macca.

Thanks Macca
I will sit down and re-study all the Covid and State sites again. Asking their FAQ sections the questions that I require an answer for.
As I hinted at the onset , I was really only being lazy and picking the combined brain of everyone on the
forum.
Safe Covid free travels to you also

We are planning a similar trip to WA from
Toowoomba in Jun in our motorhome. We would like to spend a couple of weeks in SA doing the rellie thing and then continue up the centre to Tindal (
Katherine) to visit our RAAF son and grandies (Christmas in Jul). Then into WA and down the coast to more rellies in the SW. Back across the Nullarbor and eventually
home to
Toowoomba.
We have several options if SA/NSW/Vic doesn't pan out. Thru Mt Isa to NT and WA then up the centre from WA and back to
home etc. We evened looked at going down the WA coast and then return up the inland road to NT, such are uncertain times. Not looking at
Birdsville or Strzelecki Tracks as others have done and come to grief.
As has been said, best to have options on the table and make final decisions shortly before leaving.
Safe travels all and hope you get to go where you wish.
