I recall cycling through the countryside when there was a travel ban in place. I could the road for miles ahead of me. Every time I seen a car, I concealed myself and my bicycle behind the brush until the car passed. I'll never forget how surreal that felt.

It was definitely a strange time. My most surreal moment in the lockdowns was driving home from work one night, stopped at a set of traffic lights in the cbd, with no one else on the road and me wondering why I bothered stopping. Just as that thought passed through my head, a kangaroo hopped its way through the intersection. It felt weirdly apocalyptic, that nature reclaimed such a human space within 2 weeks. It reminded me that humanity is just a speck and nature would move on without us very quickly and easily.
