Bachelor In Paradise - Australia - Season 3 - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #2

Enough wrote:Northern Territory is opening up its border. I am sure you can get a resort with a tropical feel

If you are arriving in the NT from a declared COVID-19 hotspot, you must complete 14 days of mandatory supervised quarantine unless you are eligible for exemption.

If you have been in a hotspot within the last 14 days, you will no longer be able to quarantine in Queensland and will be turned away at our border—unless you are providing an essential activity.

Are they admitting people from Vic though?  Didn't Michael Gunner had designated the whole of Vic a hotspot?

ETA:  Hmmm OK maybe NT would be a possibility.  Looks like they just have the standard 14 day iso in place

This is all going to take so much time to organise - anyone going to Paradise would know well in advance.

Over a Zoom game of Settlers of Catan, Sheree Rubinstein's friends urged her to escape Melbourne's lockdown and head north to join them in the Byron Shire, on the north coast of NSW.

While it was tempting, she says the logistics of escaping Victoria's lockdown with her newborn daughter seemed impossible.

"We just thought, 'We're not going to quarantine in a hotel room with Goldie,'" the 34-year-old mother said.

"You know, with a five-month-old, if you're locked in a room, it's just too hard."

But the family soon became aware of another option.

While travellers from COVID-19 hotspot areas such as Victoria and Sydney face restrictions on interstate travel, they can travel to Darwin.

Once there, they have to quarantine at a facility in the city's rural area for two weeks, at a cost of $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for a family.

Unlike hotel quarantine for international arrivals — where travellers forfeit fresh air and the freedom to exercise — residents at the Howard Springs facility are able to walk around the facility, enjoy Top End sunsets and even go for a swim.

Also the listing seems very popular (11 people viewing it at the same time as me?  Didn't see that message with any of the others). On the flipside, it looks like they are still taking bookings for Nov so they're not booked out.

ETA:  Oh @butterflylove I just saw your post on the previous page - same thoughts re: Coffs.
