Do the maths ... 430,000 population here -v- how many in Melbourne? Plus it only takes about 20 minutes to drive across town in Canberra, most roads are 110 kph. So just because one infection Northside doesn't mean it can't be taken Southside in half an hour. Ask Red.

Canberra is confusing geographically for an occasional visitor. When I am there, I have no idea where north/south are. When I was down there on secret squirrel business it took me about 20 mins to drive from 'home' to the Office....and I reckon that was nothing like 'across town.'

Canberra's population is around 430,000 and the ACT covers a large area!

The entire territory lies between latitudes 35° and 36° S and extends some 53 miles (85 km) north to south and 33 miles (53 km) east to west.

Australian Capital Territory/Area 2,358 km²
Gunghalin is Northside
Tuggeranong is Southside

This is worth reading Nef!

I was worried about one of my sons who lives alone going stir crazy however I see people who live alone can nominate one household that they can visit

People who live alone can identify one other household that they can visit or receive visits from.

You are just too close to Sydney.
I'm surprised the cases are not much higher.

I think it still takes about 3 hours to drive to Sydney. Nobody wants to come to Canberra, they might run into a Pollie or three. :rofl Some Canberrans, apparently, took off "down the coast" as soon as the lockdown was announced. That takes about 2 hours. :roll They were all told to STAY HOME!
