    Vic to NSW quarantine-less travel: when?

    Bit of a guessing game, but thought I'd start a thread on when Victorians will be able to travel to NSW without quarantine of any sort. My guess is 1 Nov, the day NSW allows international arrivals to do so. Any opposing views? I note 1 Nov QF has 2 flights, JQ one on the MEL SYD route.

    Help me plan my trip! (MEL-WAW, max flight 1.5hrs/1500km)

    To me, probably the worst thing about flying long haul to Europe is the "long" bit! Next year I'm planning on taking 3 months off work (might be more) and I figure I'm going to fly to Warsaw minus the "long" bit! I'm not sure exactly what restriction I should put on, but I'm thinking nothing...
