Still City
Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne, Victoria
Captured in April 2020 during Melbourne's COVID-19 lockdown, this image records a sight few Melburnians ever expected to witness — the heart of Bourke Street Mall completely empty.
Normally filled with shoppers, trams, street performers and the constant movement of city life, the streets stood silent following overnight rain. Reflections from shopfronts and tram tracks stretch into the distance, highlighting a moment when one of Australia's busiest city centres came to a standstill.
This photograph serves as both a cityscape and a historical record of an unprecedented chapter in Melbourne's history.
