Tough coronavirus travel restrictions placed on Fraser, Stradbroke and Moreton islands off South East Queensland will be eased tomorrow for day trips but people cannot go camping there just yet.
Fraser Island, North Stradbroke Island and Moreton Island have been off-limits during the coronavirus pandemic to anyone but people who live there or those delivering supplies. Accommodation and tourism operators have been critical they have been kept in the dark about when the islands could reopen. The islands were restricted by a special order from the Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young labelled a Restricted Access to Designated Areas Direction.The islands are still subject to the broader restrictions, including a restriction on travel.From Saturday, people can travel up to 150 kilometres in their region for day trips — so there is no rushing to those islands for a camping holiday.
Why only day trips? So basically just a show of easing restrictions to fool people. So over this scam now.
