The Last Days of Lockdown in the Sydney CBD

After more than 100 days of being in lockdown here in Sydney. It feels pretty good come tomorrow we will be able to get back to normal.

Not completely normal with a fair few restrictions in place, and you need to show vaccination proof upon entering certain venues. But due to hitting 70% vaccinations in NSW a few days ago, come tomorrow we are back.

The next target is hitting the 80% mark and that will bring in more freedoms. But a big day none the less. Tomorrow Sydney residents will be able to travel around to the various parts of Sydney without need for exemptions or permits for the first time in months.

With that, on Friday just gone, which makes it the last Friday of lockdown and also the last business day of lockdown, I shot a few pictures along the Sydney CBD’s normally most busy street, George St.

Closed, The Grounds Cafe as a mask wearing passer by is reflected in the window.

This was at lunchtime on Friday, and normally as you’d imagine Friday lunchtime in the city or any city would be chaos. A far cry from normal.

But after nearly 4 months of lockdown, the normally bustling streets of Sydney were all so quite. Most places were shut and only a handful of cafes were open and seemingly just a handful of people were out during the lunch break. It was a typical Friday in lockdown, but far from a typical Friday in our great city of Sydney.

Fingers crossed that everything goes well, and this will be the last Friday ever in lockdown.
