I say stay home, unless you can guarantee you won't see another person on your journey and hike.

Sorry, but it's not happening. When conditions are suitable, I'm walking. This is not about enjoyment, it's my main survival strategy.

Exactly but I fear they'll close the parks anyway.

26. This website must not be used in any way which contravenes Australian law (including posting spam) or in any way which encourages others to break the law, or to breach the regulations of any land authority or management (eg, government, PWS, private land owner).
The discussion is fine to continue but can we all please avoid saying things like "get out of town" and "just do it, what 's the difference in going to the supermarket or cafe or butchers".
The whole situation is a bit vague right now and moderators share many of the same concerns, ideas and views as you all but we need to be as responsible and as forward thinking as possible.
Thanks everyone
