The obriens gf is $80 a carton, not worth it. $80 for a case of 16. Reported very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted July 18, 2020 #1352 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Just looking at gluten free here Uncle Les, it's about $15.00 for half dozen 330 ml or 355 ml. There is also 2 brands at $15.00 for four 475 ml. My house beer Sleemans Honey Brown is not GF and is priced at $12.79 for a half dozen 341 ml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldi has cheaper beer, some people are quite happy with the Aldi beer, some of it is made in NZ, others from Europe.

Best to steer clear of anywhere with crowds on weekends. Sorry to hear Batesman Bay had someone visit with the virus. Does that mean it will now be a trouble spot, so you won't be able to visit Queensland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like to walk the aisles in Dan's like the proverbial kid in a lolly shop.😵 Time to hit the golfie for lunch, then I won't need to cook dinner. I will just avid anyone who looks like they are from Victoria, Sydney or ACT, which is almost everyone. The locals are bunkered down or waiting in the 4 hour queue at the pop up drive in covid testing station in the Hanging Rock Library car park.

I find we tend to try new wines more when we actually go to Dans. It's too easy to stick to the tried and true when buying online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent delays were because the Government introduced changes that people couldn't come from certain NSW hotspots, after visitors had completed old entry permits. With the situation changing in NSW, it pays to check the latest rules re entry. Edited July 19, 2020 by MMDown Under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have heard, the border crossing at Coolangatta has the longest queues. People were able to cross at Texas with no waiting at all.

The problem is Tweed,NSW/Coolangatta, Queensland work like one town, so people live, work, school, medical appointments, public transport etc. on both sides of the border.

Docker123 Posted July 19, 2020 #1363 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Is it the lawyers’ fault? A couple of interesting developments from yesterday. In his summary, Premier said one of the growing clusters related to a “famous” law firm. It required its staff to attend the office rather than work remotely. Victoria has a ruling that people must work from home if they can. Next we have a Sydney law firm spruiking interesting things. Advising Victorians to ignore the mask requirement and challenge any fine in court. They were also advertising to employ a melbourne based lawyer to take n these cases. I wondered about the professional ethics of lawyers inciting people to break the law, especially so they can generate business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got crook in the week, tested and positive. Now the club which is huge, i.e. 600 seat auditorium, 300 seat dining area plus several spacious bars and lounges and 100 poker machines etc. has shut down until Tuesday for 'deep cleaning.' Cabin/Caravan Park has not closed and authorities tracing the two men's activities in the couple of days they were here, shops, petrol stations cafes etc. Suffice to say the locals have gone ballistic on local media and faceache, etc. Can't blame the Vics for this one. Maybe time to bunker down again, I have plenty of TP and went to Aldi & Dan Murphys last week, so stocked up.🍷 Stay safe everybody, it's a jungle out there. There are now eight confirmed positive cases from that visit to Batemans Bay Soldiers Club. Everyone who attended that Club at that time are encouraged to get tested. Hope you are bunkering down again and keeping safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough Victorians saying and doing the wrong thing without surely an unethical Sydney law firm inciting people to not follow mandatory instructions. As for the Melbourne law firm they will be fined a large sum I hope and perhaps their sick employees will sue the firm. Leigh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, problem is the club dining areas, gambling area and lounges, bars were busy 400 or 500 people there during the day and night, each day of the 4 day virus window, anyone who was in the club Mon-Thurs last week could be affected. NSW Health has now shut the club down for 14 days. Staff and patrons tested positive, sorry to say there will be more cases, like where did the infected people go after the club? I am not going anywhere today anyway, except down the beach for a walk, I live at Batehaven, 5km south of the Batemans Bay CBD.

I also live near beaches and parks, which I took for granted, until the virus threat arrived. Now I value that I can get exercise outside in the fresh air, seeing only a few people. Twenty new cases from known sources in NSW just announced by NSW Premier. Edited July 20, 2020 by MMDown Under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the politicisation and partisan approach to climate change and a whole host of other things, that attitude went out the door a long time ago. For many it's all about self interest now.

NSWP Posted July 20, 2020 #1374 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Going nuts down here, health authority had to close the testing facility, ran out of the testing materials, can you believe. Many businesses closing. A town of 11,000 paranoid. Our Eurobodalla Meals on Wheels Service, where I spend a couple of mornings a week has suspended all volunteers over 70, as vunerable people, which is 95% of the 60 strong work force @ Batemans Bay, Moruya and Narooma. We have 5 paid employees in our office, i.e. Manager, Stock, Finance, Admin etc who will doing the packing and deliveries to 300 clients this week, they will be earning their money. We have to keep pumping the frozen meals out, so many folk dependent on them. So if you were coming down to the Batemans Bay area, don't, go north. It is a 'hot spot.' Stay safe it is a jungle out there. Edited July 20, 2020 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger88 Posted July 20, 2020 #1375 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I took my whole family to the park yesterday. We were allowed to walk in the parks so I decided it would be a good idea for a family gathering by the lake, some orange juice and sandwiches in the morning... even though my younger daughter asked me to buy her MC donalds.. it did not ruin the overall thing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
