Hundreds of people from Victoria's border communities have been able to cross freely this morning, as South Australia reopens to interstate travellers.

One couple has been stuck in a caravan park for 10 weeks because of the closures

South Australia has either prohibited most Victorians from entering or required them to fill out a permit to do so for 609 consecutive days since the first closure on March 24, 2020. The couple sold their house earlier this year, bought a caravan, travelled to Balranald where they were stuck for 21 days, then Buronga for six weeks, before arriving in Murrayville, where they have been staying for the past ten weeks.

Ms Giles said that although waiting for the border to open has been difficult, she and her husband feel as if they have become part of the Murrayville community."The locals in Murrayville are fantastic; they're more than welcoming," she said.Darren Powell is the caretaker of the Murrayville Caravan Park and says it has been a hectic time.

Labor government failures at every possible turn

ABC must have been told it’s ok to report on this travesty now - the Gaslighting Industrial Complex is in full swing

Locking fully vaccinated people out of their own state and houses. How did this happen in Aust where govt's treat their own citizens with such contempt and indifference. Stuck on Qld border for months, fully vaxxed, trying to get back to my empty house, it's just shameful.

It's a shame that people's retirement plans have been disrupted. But, the pandemic was in full swing when these people sold their house to go caravanning. What did they think was going to happen?

They should have never been locked out, if there had been proper protocols applied in the first place. Reactive, non proactive governing.
