Equine Influenza has been detected at Centennial Park, New South Wales.

All NSW has been placed in an OFFICIAL HORSE STANDSTILL.

If horse move around they will spread the disease throughout Australia.
The only chance we have of containing the disease will be to let it burn itself out in isolated properties.
