You may have noticed that it’s a little wetter than usual. The entire New South Wales coast is on flood alert, wind speeds of 90-100 kilometres per hour have been recorded in Sydney, people have been evacuated from homes in Narrabeen and Lismore, and transport has been affected in the CBD.

Vivid Sydney is urging visitors to postpone their trips to another, drier day. The festival runs until June 18 – so there’s plenty of time.
Light projections on the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Customs House, and at Central Park and Chatswood will still be operating tonight.

You can still check out indoor exhibitions like Bjork Digital at Carriageworks, Vivid Ideas sessions and Vivid Music events.
