The project #Crookwellfromthecurb documented 80 families and businesses in their backyard, by their front door or on their veranda to practise social distancing standards.

She said she was overwhelmed by the experience, which provided a fun break from the monotony of isolation for many.
"It's something for people to talk about other than COVID-19," Mrs Cramp said.
It was also an opportunity for Mrs Cramp to keep doing what she loves after losing weddings and families that had to postpone their shoots during the pandemic.
A photo from each session will be shared online and more will be published in a book written by Mrs Cramp at a later date. She is also considering taking photos after the pandemic to document the transition.
The project was inspired byher Canadian friend Lori Loree who created #Nantonporchproject to photograph families on their porches as she socially distanced herself on the street.
"I think it is super important that we document this incredibly trying time for our community and for our children in years to come. We will be talking about 2020 for the rest of our lives; it's been bush fires, drought and now a pandemic," Mrs Cramp said.
Her first #Crookwellfromthecurb photo (pictured above) was of her children having fun on the farm ten days into social distancing.
"They have been building forts and just being kids, blissfully unaware of what's going on when you leave the farm gate," she said.
