In this print captured by Michael Dodge, local surfers are seen at Bells Beach in Torquay amidst the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The image portrays a bittersweet moment as it highlights the cancellation of the famous Bells Beach Classic surf competition, which is traditionally held during the Easter holiday weekend. Due to Victoria's stage three social distancing laws and public health measures aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19, only local residents were allowed to enjoy the waves this weekend. As depicted in this photograph, these dedicated surfers took advantage of their exclusive access to Bells Beach. The empty beach and solitary figures on their boards evoke a sense of solitude and reflection amid uncertain times. It serves as a reminder that even beloved events like surfing competitions have been affected by the global pandemic. Michael Dodge's lens captures not just an ordinary scene but also documents history in motion—a snapshot that encapsulates both resilience and adaptation within Australia's surfing community during these challenging times. This print stands as a testament to how COVID-19 has impacted various aspects of our lives, from major sporting events to everyday activities. It serves as a visual representation of how individuals must adjust their routines while adhering to necessary precautions for public safety.
