The first day of lockdown and only one tourist
Looking back through the normally packed restaurants to the city.
Normally packed, first day of COVID lockdown- empty
This carpark is usually busy with cars coming and going, nothing.
Leading onto the Cahill Expressway, a lone walker where there should be hundreds.
Some random people, the first we found. Everyone wandered in a little bit of a daze.
No work happening although later this would change as construction became exempt from lockdown.
No one and nothing.
Circular Quay, for some reason this was still open although no staff.

The first lockdown started the day after my birthday and I wanted to document the way the city closed overnight. The busiest parts of Sydney emptied of people in a weird end-of-the-world kind of way. I travelled into town with my camera and my eldest son to see what we could see- we were exercising after all.
