There will still be a travel distance radius from home.

Yes, bit of a problem in Vic, you can walk around the border in a day?

With the latest COVID-19 outbreak coming from the Melbourne based, Brooklyn Cedar Meats processing/packaging company (now testing positive to 62+ new COVID-19 cases & growing with each passing day) don't look like the Premier of Victoria will be easing restrictions any time to soon.
Knowing that winter is around the corner, with COVID-19 thriving under such conditions, whilst slowly changing/mutating at the same time & a cure still far from sight, is quite discerning. Take care out there everyone.

give it 2 weeks and casual detecting will be allowed in vic

I too hope that you are right in what you say Tim. By the looks of things, COVID-19 aint going anywhere anytime to soon. If all people were to follow/adhere to the health/safety procedures set down by the medical fraternity, (doing the right thing by one another), the economy would most likely be well on its way to a full recovery by now. The current problem/issues we face, are not so much in getting the economy back to normal, but in the setting up of adequate safety procedures, in order to dramatically reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 throughout the work force. Either way & although a price to pay, we cannot be complacent in what we do anymore, nor how we go about in doing things, till a remedy/cure for COVID-19 is well within sight.

Cheers Kon.

I can't say I don't agree with you Dave, just wishful thinking on my part. Last I read, the world had raised just over 13 $billion dollars in the hope of finding some form of vaccine/cure & am quite sure they're working on one as we speak, but alas, like you say, are still far from finding/producing one.
In the long run, we might have no choice but to accept that COVID-19 is here to stay & get on with living life within/around a COVID-19 environment.
It is not so much those in charge & the decisions they make I worry about, as much as the odd person breaking all that has been said to do, infecting others in the process as well.
eg; the ones who come down with a slight cough or fever, but instead of getting themselves checked up immediately, go about their daily lives, thinking nothing of it, whilst associating with others in close or confined proximity, passing the virus on to others unwittingly, until it is to late.
They're the ones one has to worry about & because of such people, the government is then forced to take further draconian action on the whole.

Cheers Kon.

You can detect anywhere in Vic as of tomorrow, just no camping so looks like day trips only as all caravan parks, pubs motels ect are still closed.

I don't think that is clear .
Victorians are currently only allowed to leave their homes for work or education, shopping for essential supplies, exercise and medical and compassionate care.
Mr Andrews said the changes meant there would be a fifth reason for Victorians to leave their homes from Wednesday — visiting family and friends.
Does leaving your home to go fishing or prospecting count as work or education, shopping for essential supplies, exercise and medical and compassionate care or visiting family and friends?
I think an official ruling on this should be obtained.

Agree planet care.

They are saying ok to leave home for exercise? Though does driving from Pakenham to Bendigo for a days detecting is allowed as long as no camping is involved?

As of Midnight tonight, all prospecting is allowed in Vic , daytrips only, no camping. Allowed to gather in groups of up to 10 outdoors. Its in print and official....woohoo!!!

Where does it say this in official print from a government source?

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-11/coronavirus-restrictions-in-victoria-premier-daniel-andrews/12228524

As far as I can see,go fishing,play golf therefor can detect,use common sense I think was stated.
It would appear that a day trip is ok to gold fields,
if a family visit consists of travelling 3 hours then distance ain't a problem for a detect,that's the way i'm going to view it.
MY theory is don't look for any problems


cheers   moredeep

& I agree. By the looks of it, the first step of the easing up of restrictions, start from 11:59 Tuesday midnight (meaning ready to go Wednesday) These no doubt are the first steps towards a couple of weeks trial, in order to see how things pan out with COVID-19. Now if we all adhere to the hygiene/self distancing procedures, keeping COVID-19 to an all time controllable low, things should only get better from here on-wards.
Tim, I'm glad that you were right & I were wrong.

Cheers Kon.

Can I go gold prospecting or panning?

Under new arrangements to come into effect at 11.59pm on Tuesday 12 May, you can go gold prospecting or panning. You cannot gather in groups of more than 10 people at any one time. Keep at least 1.5 metres between yourself and other people at all times.

As always though, Victorians are being asked to be considered and use common sense when it comes their activities. You should only leave home if you really need to. We are all being asked to make sacrifices in order to save lives.

I seem to remember a month or so back predicting we would be able to get out and travel by the middle or end of May.
Here in SA we can travel all across the state and go prospecting, fishing, bush walking etc. I also remember getting pooh hooed by some who said it wouldn't happen until toward the end of the year.

We are off on Saturday for the next 5 months in our motor home to a warmer climes and a bit of detecting thrown in.

They don't call me the Oracle for nothing.
