On 18 October, regional Victoria moved to "Step Three" and the dreaded curfew is over, hopefully I will never have to rush home to meet a curfew ever again in my life.
It also included the reopening of most businesses to the public, increased seating for hospitality, the allowance of visitors for all residents and the resumption of some indoor sports.
At the same time, the 5 km limit in metropolitan Victoria was increased to 25 km (16 mi) and the two-hour time limit was removed.
However, the border between metropolitan and regional Victoria (often referred to as the "ring of steel") was strengthened with extra checkpoints added.
