A snapshot of Noosa in isolation

Though slightly busier this week, places like Hasting Street and along the Noosa River are still dreary and empty.

The current warm Autumn weather would usually bring tourists and locals out in droves to the beaches and eateries.

Restrictions are set to ease this weekend in Queensland, meaning beaches are open for suntanning and retail stores are allowed to once again open their doors.

Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll has announced that there will be a further 140 police deployed across the state to ensure that social distancing measures are still being followed.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said that these new eased conditions will be monitered closely over the next two weeks to see whether the number of cases increase, stating she is not afraid to “clamp down” on restrictions again.
