St Kilda pier has been one of Melbourne's go-to places for a breezy walk during COVID-19 lockdown. The other favourite activity at the pier - a glimpse of the penguin parade - has been out of bounds since March because it's impossible to socially distance the crowds that squeeze on the viewing platform. With restrictions easing, that could open again soon, though there's no news yet. Meanwhile, you can still enjoy the view and the walk, now without a mask. Or, like this woman last week, a dainty little fossick across the rocks.Credit:Joe Armao
