Yes, a limo driver in Sydney who wasn't vaccinated, caught the Delta strain of covid from air crew he was transporting to quarantine. He then spread it to others in Sydney, hence the lockdown there. One who caught it was a fly-in miner who works in a remote mine in the Northern Territory. Some hundreds of miners who work there and live all over Australia have caused lockdowns in other places, while contacts are traced and tested.
One interesting fact to emerge was that one infected person attended a birthday party with 30 guests, 24 who were not vaccinated all caught covid while the 6 who were vaccinated did not.
The simple message from this is, get vaccinated. see
