Should not have given them any warning but feel for the folk living in western Vic.
Time is passing too quickly so live life to the full with your spouse/partner while you still have she/he by your side.

Re: Vic / NSW Border closes
Agree, no warning just the border is shut. Although giving one days warning gives those working away time to get back home. My youngest daughter (a grandma) is in the process of moving to Tas which was a long term plan and their house has just sold, now they can't come through Victoria. Told her to get a container, put all their stuff in it, sell the cars or store them and fly down from Sydney or Canberra. The container can follow them and they end up with a big shed.

Re: Vic / NSW Border closes
Really great for us border-dwellers!! (NOT!)
Rutherglen has not yet had ANY positive tests for Covid-19! ONE Corowa lady died after contracting it elsewhere, and that was within days of the original lockdown. Since then, NONE!
Our GP is in Corowa, NSW (10km).
My Oncologist is in Albury, NSW (45km).
Our church is in Corowa.
We do our grocery shopping in Corowa. (Round trip: 20km, compared with Wangaratta: 90km!)
Specialty shops are in Albury, not Corowa.
Small Mitre 10 in Rutherglen has mostly empty shelves, now... everyone has been DIYing in isolation. And he's having difficulty re-stocking.
Alternatives are Bunnings in Albury, Wodonga or Wangaratta. Can't get to Albury now. Hope Wodonga & Wangaratta can re-stock!

Re: Vic / NSW Border closes
Ray, I was just watching the ABC news and Premier Dan was saying that there will be exemptions for border town dwellers such as yourself.
It will be the same for the in-laws up at Yarrawonga -Mulwala except they are a bit older than you are and have zero access to electronic anything. One of the G kids will have to visit them and organise a printout of their permit. The relevant authorities will have a workable solution in the next 24 hrs, i'm sure. With number plate recognition cameras now widespread it shouldn't be too hard for them to work out what you are doing.

Jon, I can help you with the broccoli but we have talked about the chickpeas before. Maybe give them to some cows
