Don’t expect Australia’s richest man, Andrew Forrest, back in the country anytime soon.It is understood the Fortescue Metals Group founder and chairman, whose fortune has soared to about $20 billion this year, will base himself in Croatia for an extended period.

Indonesia's Co-ordinating Minister for Investment, Luhut Pandjaitan, and Andrew Forrest after signing a co-operation agreement. Dr Forrest and key members of his Fortescue team are travelling in a private jet to some of the world’s most troubled nations on a hunt for renewable energy and minerals development projects, with Dr Forrest also furthering his philanthropic work.

The travel agenda includes Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).Dr Forrest and his Fortescue party have visited Papua New Guinea and Indonesia in the past fortnight, where they signed non-financially binding agreements to develop multibillion-dollar hydro power and renewable energy projects.

Croatia will serve as a base for more travel with Dr Forrest and the Fortescue team clearly confident that with proper precautious in place it is safe to move around the world despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their travel schedule and Dr Forrest's decision to use Croatia as a base reflects that Australia is now an outlier in restricting overseas travel by its residents.Australians have been banned from leaving the country since March 23 unless granted a special exemption and Health Minister Greg Hunt this week extended that ban until at least December 17.

Mr Hunt said the decision was based on advice from the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee that COVID-19 continued to pose an unacceptable public health risk.
