As one of the world's largest animal migrations, thousands of giant spider crabs wander from the depths of Port Phillip Bay each winter into the shoals in order to dehull.
This phenomenon has attracted divers from all over the world to take photos in recent years, and this year is no exception.
At this time of year, the Chinese media will also regularly push this travel route and provide relevant strategies, and we are no exception.
There are two main locations for spider crabs caught in Melbourne: Blairgowrie and Rye:
There was no problem before, but this year is special because Victoria has strict social distancing restrictions and is one of the most restrictive states in Australia.
So something embarrassing happened...
A Facebook netizen named "Yes i do fish like girl" po po a photo of a large number of Chinese people gathering at the dock at Rye Pier yesterday. And attach the text:
"When everyone was marching in the Melbourne CBD yesterday in defiance of social distancing, I didn't expect this to happen on my doorstep, but no one pointed it out."
The sentence "Any racist comments will be deleted" was added at the end.
The original post did not code the Chinese who showed their faces, and the code was supplemented by Uncle Cat.
Although the owner of the po claims to remove comments with racial overtones, the comments are still full of sarcastic comments.
Then, the unexpected happened...
Mornington Police update on the official Facebook: Rye Pier closed.
"Due to the disappointing failure of social distancing by a large number of people, the local government and police decided to close the pier.
Police have reminded local people and holidaymakers that social distancing restrictions in Victoria are still in effect and that if there are any more similar incidents, more attractions will be closed for public safety reasons. ”
There are local photographs that have now blocked the road to the pier.
So despite the control of the screen, the sneering and sarcastic waves of Chinese on Facebook can be imagined.
In fact, this afternoon, some readers have left a message for Uncle Cat, saying that it is inappropriate to recommend this kind of gathering activity that may violate social distancing at this time.
I don't know if this reader saw the posts circulating on the Internet or foresaw this situation... But as a public platform, we really don't think about it, we have a certain responsibility, and we will learn from it in the future.
Finally, it is called on Chinese people who travel for a long holiday to consciously abide by the relevant regulations on epidemic prevention and other social orders.
Maintaining the image of overseas Chinese is everyone's responsibility.
