Flying in Victoria during lockdown?
Assuming all other Victorian lockdown requirements are met, would a two hour private flight departing and arriving at the same airstrip be considered legitimate exercise or education?

Have you asked the Victorian Health Department or whoever regulates travel during a lockdown?
Air Services Australia may also know the official position on such flights?
I suspect a departure and arrival at the same airport, with no intermediate stops, would be acceptable, but accepting the many varied PPRuNe opinions as official Government policy may leave you with a serious problem you probably don't need.

When you live....
Surely you've answered your own question? A PRIVATE flight couldn't be considered one of the 5 reasons to leave home under even the most optimistic interpretation? By the same logic I could jump into my car, drive a lap of Victoria and back home again - think a policeman is going to buy that one?
Is a professional YouTuber able to fly privately for 2 hours and even land somewhere…? that’s something I’d be interested to hear if it was legit, just for interests sake really.

Private flight in Victoria: Just fer-get-it (at least for 6 more days).
Hopefully we'll be out of this soon, after which you may wish to consider moving to another state, or country where the drinking water fluoridation levels are much lower.

If you can prove that you are flying for employment, education, exercise, food or a vaccination then go for it!

Blimey, you folk,
If I lived in Vicco (and thank goodness I don't) and I felt like going flying, I believe as a CPL I have every right. Every flight I ever do is related to my work as a pilot, period, end of story. If I am going to the airport I am going to work. I am self employed, here's my ASIC, here's my CPL, move on copper.
Good luck you blokes and blokettes :-)

Ehhh this one is actually yes and no, there are a few other reasons they can ask you specific questions you have to answer, if in doubt check the below link, it's pretty good as a resource and generally speaking so long as you're cooperative they'll let you go quickly and without any hassles. They're not like that CASA mob

Giving your name and address
The police do not have the right to demand your name or address without a reason. Generally, a police officer can only ask you to give your name and address if they believe you:- have committed an offence
- are about to commit an offence.
To all those brave Sir Robins who would just tell the fuzz to f off and its my right as a pilot to go wherever I want whenever I want it looks like you might get another 7 days to turn your brave rhetoric into action. Let us know how you get on.
