According to Melbourne city council, pedestrian traffic in Melbourne’s CBD is down 83 per cent. That’s really great to hear, especially at a time when we’re all supposed to be staying home and stopping the spread of the virus.
We pulled together a bunch of photos of Melbourne’s empty streets a few weeks ago and because you all loved that story so much, here are some more photos to gawk at.

Flinders Street
Eerie feeling in the city. Saturday night and there is no one in normally bustling Flinders Street. Positive signs in Victoria’s latest coronavirus figures but Govt says we can’t be complacent. The latest 10.25pm #7NewsMelb pic.twitter.com/gScgDNRYzC
