Fairly sure you can fish anywhere in the metro area so you don't have to fish just in Epping

Avalon is outside the plaguezone so please don’t go there. Keep your germs in Melbourne.

I assume if you were to launch the boat within the plaguezone you’d be able to drive it to Avalon as long as you don’t come ashore.

Know your boundaries. If unsure, dont travel. Stay within the red zone

No worries, just don’t leave the metro area (the red area on the map above) or you risk getting a big fine.

To reiterate, Avalon is outside that zone so don’t plan on fishing there.

still not sure about restrictions between travelling between various suburbs...sounds like those 32 burbs that were locked down are still no goes.going by tonight's news..still very unclear whether you are effectively allowed to go anywhere withing metro or not.

As usual very vague

I’m thinking of hitting Gunnamatta in the morning but I’m not entirely sure if it’s ok. I’m in the outer east.
