Well it looks like it is pretty much official.

As of Saturday we will probably be homeless.

It turns out in another stunning piece of bureaucratic bastardry, we not only have to do the new application from yesterday but we will need to start the other application processes again too.

And, as they are reliant on each other, we have to do them one at a time serially. So given we have 6 days to be out of here, and the process is likely to take over 14 days we will run out of time.

Kind of regret selling the camper trailer now...

Hey Derek (et al),

We are still in limbo. Still waiting on renewed permits so we can apply for yet more new permits.

Couch surfing at my brothers for now.

Let's just say it's pretty grim...

Early Friday morning (around 1 AM) we received SA Health approval to enter SA. 8 AM Friday we reapplied to SAPOL for our entry permits using the SA Health exemption.

Early afternoon Friday we got SAPOL approval.

Saturday was spent sorting, packing, putting cats into boarding, arranging transport for the cats, etc.

Sunday at sparrow's fart we left. We got stopped several times by NSW Police on our way towards Lithgow. Once at the checkpoint at Lithgow we were 'interviewed' by a copper whose mission was to turn around anyone who did not have a reasonable excuse to leave Sydney.

Put simply, we buried him with all of our paperwork. To which he said "you seem to be prepared". Roll Eyes

Two and a half days driving later we hit the final hurdle - the border checkpoint into SA.

The coppers there checked all of the paperwork, gave us a spiel about quarantining and welcomed us to SA.

We are now into day two of our 14 day quarantine at our new place in the Barossa.

We heard today in a press conference that the SA government has essentially stopped processing permits in the last few days.
