In 2020, Narriearra became the largest single land acquisition for a national park in the state's history. The 153,415-hectare station sits in the north-west corner of NSW, with the dog-proof fence of the NSW-Queensland border forming its northern boundary.

new lockdown reflections...

Just been for a walk. Melbourne has slipped back into lockdown like slipping on a pair of ugly but necessary orthopaedic shoes. #MelbourneLockdown

The roads are pretty quiet. Nice work Melbourne! #melbournelockdown

Im glad we are locked down for 5 days if the risk is warranted, which it sounds like it is. After going along southbank 2 wknds ago, it was packed and would spread so quickly if it is the UK strain. Lets be mature Melbourne and take a chill pill #melbournelockdown

#melbournelockdown Funny how much pleasure I got from returning to Beautiful Fawkner Park for my routine lockdown walk with man and dog.. maybe there is an upside!

Millions of blokes breathing a sigh of relief in Melbourne. Now they can say with dewy eyes they had GREAT plans for #ValentinesDay - until cruel fate intervened.

Indeed, the street is very clear...
Clear of traffic and clearly seen... https://t.co/rtyfAWvVQp
