Lifesagame - re your comments about Scally and early drilling I just repeat what Mark McGowan said today on facebook re the lockdown. Some easing took place on Monday (groups of 10) but there are no changes at this current time which affect Scally operations as per his comments below:
"To date 35,980 people have tested negative for COVID-19 in Western Australia. Of those, 6,395 people have returned negative tests in regional WA.

- Easing of restrictions on gatherings and activities -
Some of Western Australia's stage 3 restrictions have now been relaxed to ensure families and friends can stay connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The changes, based on health advice, will mean indoor and outdoor non-work gatherings will be relaxed to enable for up to 10 persons, lifted from the two person only limit, following continued low number of new cases and the encouraging response to COVID-19 in WA.
Everyone should continue to practise appropriate social distancing and stay home except for:
- shopping for what you need, such as food or other necessary supplies;
- medical or health care needs, including compassionate requirements;
- exercise, including outdoor personal training without shared equipment;
- training or university study, where remote learning is unavailable;
- childcare or school;
- work;
- non-contact recreational activities such as private picnics in the park, fishing, boating, hiking and camping - all in compliance with travel restrictions and the 10-person rule;
- home opens and display village openings, with appropriate record keeping and hygiene practices in place, and in compliance with the 10-person rule.
A maximum of 10 people will be allowed at weddings, funerals, outdoor personal training (no shared equipment), home opens and display village inspections as part of these changes.
The two person only restriction was initially implemented from March 30 for a month with the intention to review the situation fortnightly to see if measures could be adjusted.
The new 10-person rule aligns WA with South Australia. The two-person rule was adopted in WA, going further than what was recommended at the time in a bid to curb the spread of COVID-19.
All public playgrounds, skate parks and outdoor gym equipment are to remain closed.
All other restrictions will remain in place for now, in a bid to manage social distancing and better protect Western Australians.
Restaurants, cafés, food vans, food courts and road houses remain restricted to takeaway and home delivery".
