 structions</h2><h2>&nbsp;Important</h2><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Ple
 ase take extreme care when driving along Woolcara Lane. The road was damage
 d in last week's rain and the NPWS have put in a temporary repair to allow 
 access. Being temporary it needs you to drive carefully on it to prevent fu
 rther damage.</span></p><p>COVID-19 Measures</p><ul><li>First and foremost,
  if you have recently returned from overseas, if you have travelled from a 
 known COVID-19 ‘hotspot’ without a designated period of quarantine/isolatio
 n, or if you are awaiting the result of a COVID-19 test, or if you are feel
 ing unwell, or have flu-like symptoms, please stay home.</li><li>We have tr
 ied to make this event as contact-free as possible. The obvious signs are n
 o prize ceremony, but gloved organisers will also be handing out/collecting
  maps and tags with as few touches as possible. Please drop your team-numbe
 red flight plan directly into the box provided. Touch points at the toilets
  will be cleaned regularly. Water drops will have hand sanitiser available 
 - please use when you arrive and before you leave.</li><li>Please maintain 
 a safe 1.5m distance from other teams at all times - including while doing 
 your route planning, at the briefings, at the start and finish, and when ap
 proaching controls - a few extra seconds now could save a life later.&nbsp;
 </li><li>We have made the navlights hands-free by strapping them to the sam
 e feature as the control flag, mounted perpendicular to the feature and rea
 dy to use without needing to touch it with your hands - just present your n
 avlight wrist tag to the reader so the navlight flashes in the usual way.</

 etitors should consider advising their partner of any pre-existing medical 
 conditions (such as diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, susceptibility to anaphylax
