RACV Noosa Resort
It has a tennis court.

But not to worry there are a few footy/cricket grounds in the vicinity and few rectangular obscenities.
A warm up jog away.
Arcuri restaurant for energy
And then there's the surf.
Lots of surf and more surf.

There's even a golf course nearby.
But beware playing golf is more dangerous at spreading Covid-19 than a city protest.
Dan taught us that.
Golf is why our footy teams had to leave Victoria.

The AFL Evacuation has just beaten the Victorian Border being closed with NSW, which was our only open border with except that we could have flown to ACT. That probably is out now too I presume.

Canberra people aren't that stupid.

" Canberra to effectively close border to Victoria after coronavirus cases spike

Andrew BrownAndrew Brown Canberra times.com.au

All Victorians travelling on flights to the ACT will be denied entry to Canberra from midnight on Tuesday, following a surge in coronavirus cases in Melbourne.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the move would coincide with the closure of the NSW and Victorian border, which will also come into effect on Tuesday night.

The decision was made to close the border after 127 cases of COVID-19 were recorded in Victoria in the 24 hours to Monday, the highest daily rate of increase in the state.

However, the travel restriction to Victorians will not impact the easing of restrictions in the ACT, with the third stage enacted from Friday.

People coming into the ACT from known coronavirus hotspots in Victoria on flights had been ordered to self quarantine for 14 days at their own expense or return home.

That will be expanded even further on Tuesday, with anyone from Melbourne ordered to quarantine should they arrive in the capital.

From midnight on Tuesday, it will then apply to all Victorians.

Residents from NSW or the ACT who are returning to Canberra from Victoria will be able to return home but will have to self-quarantine for 14 days.

"These measures will be further enhanced from midnight on Tuesday, where anyone from Victoria will be denied entry unless they are granted an exemption by the NSW or ACT government," Mr Barr said.

"This will significantly reduce the likelihood of the virus spreading from Victoria into the Canberra region."

The Chief Minister said the measure barring Victorians from the ACT was temporary and would be in place as long as the NSW and Victorian border was closed.

"It's important we do everything we can and at the same time, support Victoria in stopping the spread," Mr Barr said.

"Doing so now will enable the territory to continue to implement our recovery plan."

Changes to stage three of coronavirus restrictions are expected to be minor.

"We will be moving cautiously, given what is happening in Victoria," Mr Barr said.

More to come."

They will not be leaving the resort other than for training or to play for the next 14 days.

NOOSA GETAWAY: SAINTS TO HANG IN THE SUN
St Kilda players will board a bus at around 7.30am on Sunday morning to travel from the club’s Noosa hub to Metricon Stadium.

The two-and-a-half hour drive to the Gold Coast venue — and early alarm for this week’s 12.35pm clash against Fremantle — shapes as a rare drawback from winning the AFL’s hub lottery, with the Saints taking control of the RACV Noosa Resort.

Saints recruit Zak Jones and Dockers captain Nat Fyfe are likely to return from minor hamstring injuries in that clash.

Like all clubs quarantining in Queensland, the Saints are unable to leave the resort for the first 14 days, except for training.

On day 15 the Saints will fly to Adelaide for their Round 7 clash against the Crows and then return to Noosa on July 21.

They will then be permitted to surf, play golf, fish and enjoy the beautiful surrounds of the holiday town.

Hawthorn (Coogee) and Melbourne (Manly) will not have to quarantine after being sent to Sydney on Sunday.

The Saints will train at the nearby Noosa Football Club and the Maroochydore Football Club, which is 35km away.

The RACV Resort had been closed to the public recently because of construction works.

Dietitian Alison Miles jetted to Noosa with the Saints after other staff members in the club’s bubble were unable to attend.

In which case, Freo would likely collect the 4 points via a walkover, given the match is scheduled to be played on Saturday.

If they travel to Cararra on Sunday they’ll be a bit late for the game.

Geez Journos are lazy with their proof reading - mistakes galore nowadays

[longtimesaint]

I am a bit concerned with the journey from Noosa to Carrara by bus before a very important game.
I have done the drive from Noosa to GC and it needs light traffic to do it in 2 1/2 hours - it is normally more like 3 hours.
Have they considered chartering a flight instead as you also have the return bus trip after the game.

[stevie]

Yep and every now and then the M1 has a major stack and causes chaos It’s usually during the week at peak time. Sat morn the M1 should be ok. Last weekend of school hols so peeps maybe returning to Bris. Fingers crossed theres no delays as at certain spots north of Coomera there’s no side routes

Agree.

Also:

So according to that we cannot leave to play Freo

Which goes back to my original question when this move was announced?
How on earth can we play Freo when we haven't completed our 14 day quarantine?

Noosa football club 1 km jog down the road south west of the Resort.

They are in quarantine from the Queensland population not from other football clubs.

Because Freo are crap and it will be a training run.

Are we there yet ?

Many years ago we had a road trip to visit my wife's Aunt. The whole family were piled up in our big old Chevy Suburban. We were driving from Minnesota to Colorado.

About 30 minutes after we started my 4 year-old daughter asked "Are we there yet?".

I visit her grave from time to time.

3 hrs means they arrive at 10:30 leaving 2 hrs of prep before 12:35 pm start.

You were saying?

I visit her grave from time to time.

took a greyhound once from San Fran to New York. what an ordeal. delayed in salt lake city for 8 hours as they discovered bullets rolling on the floor and we missed our connection whilst they no doubt contacted police and did a background check on us all. no one told us anything until two big burley agents walked into our confused group at the bus station and grabbed a passanger and dragged him away. had a bag full of guns and munitions under his back seat. had talked to him at earlier stops, was a friendly ohio boy returning home, san fran was too dangerous according to him. one bus from then on. by denver we had run out of sanitary wipes in the toilet and they never got replaced. in chicago we had another long delay as they tried to throw off this sweet old guatemalan gent for unlabelled baggage. fellow couldn't understand as he didn't speak english, and my spanish was too poor to properly translate. they were contemptous of him, not speaking english and not knowing the rules. all the passangers lept to his defence and wouldn't let them. next thing armed security came in and arguments flew. poor old lad got tossed out, totally confused. Over 70 hours trip in total. on a stinking bloody greyhound. next time i visited america i hired an rv and drove myself.

Should have gone by train.
But in the USA the auto industry bribed politicians to put passengers trains out of business in the cities and countryside.
Government taxes paid for roads but not for rail tracks.
