New Normal – an original composition by musician Edward Willoughby

'During lockdown, my worlds collided, with my creative space and my work-from-home space existing side by side, after some creative rearranging. This video depicts the two worlds neatly overlapping, with my desk tucked in a little nook behind the piano. From here I shared some of my music with my team at Yarra Ranges during Zoom meetings, finding ways to be creative and productive.'

Walking to Healesville – a video by Mim Kocher

'At the beginning of our isolation due to COVID-19, the gym I attended put out a challenge: “who could walk or run the furthest in the month of April, 2020?” I entered and began my daily walks. My walks became longer and I began to feel fitter. I didn’t win the competition but I didn’t care. I also discovered a new app that made it easy to make this little video. Spot the Healesville landmarks I pass.' – Mim Kocher
