Perth couple in court accused of entering Queensland illegally and visiting multiple public places
A couple allegedly set out from Melbourne on July 25 with their elaborate A, B and C plans to get from Victoria to Queensland without getting caught up in tough COVID border restrictions.
Days later, they would boast about their success on social media. TIMELINE OF AN ALLEGED ROAD TRIP OF DECEIT.

Selfish & stupid people.
They deserve to get the book thrown at them.
People like this give us house-sitters & grey nomads a bad name.
I think all who get caught flouting the virus restriction rules should be named & shamed.

I hope that they get everything that is coming to them
Unfortunately for us responsible people, especially us oldies, who are fortunately healthy enough to still travel, we will all be tarred with the same brush
I hope that someone (in that part of the country), (or someone who goes on Facebook), can put up what happens, when they go to court

It really makes no difference, (not to me anyway), where these people originated from
They have done the wrong thing, they have been caught out, and I for one, will have no sympathy for them
The crux of the matter is, that we know that at a certain young age, a person is irresponsible, and flaunts the rules
We also know that people with criminal outlooks, will also be irresponsible, and flaunt the rules
We (or at least anyone who reads/looks/listens to the news), will now start thinking that Grey Nomads, are also irresponsible, and flaunt the rules
In a normal situation flaunting the rules, is worn as a badge of honour, by some irresponsible people
Unfortunately this is not normal times, the border crossing rules, have been put in place, to help stop the spread of a pandemic
I await to see, if they get enough punishment, to deter others doing the same thing as them
