It is eerily quiet on the viewing platform at Scenic World, one of Australia’s most popular tourist attractions nestled high up in the Blue Mountains. Normally, tourists would be excitedly chatting away in multiple languages as they wait to board cable cars that glide over the Jamison Valley, taking in breathtaking views of sandstone rock formations and temperate rainforest. But since social distancing rules were introduced on March 23 the family business has closed and been forced to furlough 180 employees.
风景世界(Scenic World)观景台异常安静,这里是是澳大利亚最受欢迎的旅游景点之一,坐落在蓝山(Blue Mountains)高处。通常游客们会在此兴奋地用各种语言聊着天,等着乘上缆车,滑过贾米森峡谷(Jamison Valley)上空,欣赏壮丽的砂岩岩层和温带雨林。但自社交距离规定3月23日推行以来,运营该景点的家族企业已经关闭,并被迫让180名员工强制休假。
