With our USA Catamaran Begonia we are AGAIN hoping to get to the Kimberly after several COVID failures.  This will be our last chance.  We are coming from QLD.  It doesn’t look good.

WA still doesn’t seem to have opened the border *for boaters* from NT – please tell me i’m wrong?  https://www.wa.gov.au/government/covid-19-coronavirus/covid-19-coronavirus-travel-wa  implies that all travellers must somehow check in and only mentions air and road travel.

Additionally NT wants arrivals from QLD to go direct to Darwin and not stop at all the lovely places in NT along the way (from QLD) – that sucks, but we’ll do it if we know WA is open.  https://coronavirus.nt.gov.au/travel/arriving-by-sea.

I keep hoping the rules will update and change, but if not, there doesn’t seem much point in leaving QLD with all it has to offer.

Please someone feel free to give me hope.  Our cruising permit and visas will expire later this year, so this is our last chance to see the Kimberly!
