[Updated 1 June 2020]
‘When can I travel domestically again?’ That’s the question on everyone's minds, and we know it feels like things are ever-evolving!
There is definitely growing optimism for domestic travel by day, so here’s a little peek into the state of domestic travel:
1. New South Wales
Regional travel is allowed from 1 June in NSW, so you can now say hello to camping trips, bushwalking in the Blue Mountains and wine trips in the Hunter! A number of caravan parks and camping grounds will also be open from 1 June , but travellers should call ahead and confirm bookings, while travellers planning to visit national parks should check NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service for further information.
Border open, no quarantine required.
2. Victoria
Regional travel is also allowed from 1 June in Melbourne! Camping and accommodations are also allowed, as long as there is no use of shared facilities.
Border open, no quarantine required.
3. Queensland
Regional travel is now allowed in Queensland too, but don’t go astray too far as you still have to be within 150km of home. Hiking and recreational activities are also encouraged in National and State parks, but Queenslanders will not be allowed to enter the Outback.
