Nobody made a rule that forbids family units from walking together for exercise, and they can be seen every day. Separating a close family (mum, dad, 3 kids and the dog...) would introduce angst and resistance in the children and the parents -- there will be enough of that coming on now and in future weeks!

You cannot guarantee not ever meeting another person or persons within a large national park, anywhere, irrespective of how remote or 'touristy' they are. How's that? Lots of other people, fed up and frustrated, just like you, have the same idea to go there to escape and walk around. That's the logic behind closing them.

I agree with your sentiment but I would suggest that we ought to go further.
Don’t just assume that other people are infected, assume that you’re infected but don’t know it yet.
Then you can truly see the importance of social distancing and strict hygiene.

And a face mask. It is one thing you can do to reduce the chances of you infecting others.

Masks are being made here in Australia, I think I saw that on the ABC news; that they are ramping up production to 3 full shifts a day and that the military had been co-opted to run machines because they couldn't get staff into the country town where the factory is.
