NSW recorded 105 cases on Sunday as Sydney and surrounding regions entered their fourth week of lockdown.
But stay-at-home orders haven t stopped hundreds of Sydneysiders from flocking to the beach to get their daily dose of exercise and fresh air.
As residents in three local councils in Sydney s south-west complied with strict new orders to stay in their neighbourhoods, there were different scenes in the eastern suburbs and the northern beaches on the weekend.

Michelle Stephenson, the National News Director for Nova, also criticised Love for using camera angles that trick the eye in the footage of the crowded boardwalk.
Love clapped back, Not sure what camera tricks you think are being used here? But I will also put on the record this is not my video, it was sent to me, and that filming in a public place is entirely allowed without receiving consent from individuals, she concluded.
