Face of Nation International : In light of the situation, farmers across the country have been advertising their property as a free place to stay put while the coronavirus storm passes.
Facebook group Nomads of Australia | The Best Bits is a popular online forum for Aussies travelling without a base.
In the past week the page has been inundated with people seeking clarification on where they can stay or calling out for a place to stay. Group administrator, Frances Bischof, said there had been a lot of confusion in the community.
“I’ve been advising people to pretty much stay where they are, if they can. And if they can’t, make sure that they phone ahead and know that it’s safe enough where they’re headed so they have a good place to stay,” Ms Bischof said. (Source: ABC News – Australia)
