Update: from 11.59pm Thursday May 27 Melbourne goes into lockdown for a week until 11.59pm Thursday June 3.

Last year, every Melburnian became very, very familiar with everything that falls within a five-kilometre radius of their home. Fortunately, meeting up with friends, even ones who live across town, is possible if you can find a good (and hopefully scenic) place to meet halfway.

But finding the overlap – that thin, hopeful sliver of space that falls between your respective five-kilometre zones – can be tricky to figure out, especially given most map apps don’t have an easy-to-use as-the-crow-flies function.

The Covid 5km Overlap Finder does exactly what it says on the tin. Just plug your address and your mate’s into the site, and it’ll find you the space intersecting the two. Or, as I like to call it, “the Friendship Venn Diagram.”

Right now you can leave your home for five reasons, within 5km from home.
