    returning to Australia from Indonesia without cancellation

    I would say that travel as you haven't seen your wife for a year may not get approval to leave Australia. However, they do seem to be ok if people are suggesting they won't be back for several months - so as said, you may need to stay away for an extended period of time.

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    It's not up to anyone here to define what it means, but that is pretty much what it means. As distinct from say Locally Transmitted (where you do know the source), or Locally Acquired.
