While I realize this is getting into speculation, what do others think? I have heard rumors that Australia may keep its border closed for several months. Should I apply for my eVisa on the chance the trip will happen?
I'd say no chance. The length of the border closure is dependent on the situation outside Australia. It's hard to see a situation where the virus has reached a level of control in the US/Europe by June that would allow the border to be open to general tourism.
