To say that the turnout at the Sydney edition of today’s global Climate Strike has been huge is a pretty gross understatement.

The Domain is positively heaving with punters, easily filling the entire space up well before the protest’s official start time of midday. And the aerial and on-the-ground shots of the sheer amount of heads present are something to behold. The crowd is so big, in fact, that there’s an actual line to get into it.
People are literally lining up to protest. It’s fucken unreal.
Incredible pictures as Australia’s gathering for the #climatestrike
This is the huge crowd building up in Sydney.
Australia is setting the standard!
Its bedtime in New York…so please share as many pictures as you can as the strikes move across Asia to Europe and Africa! pic.twitter.com/7eAPUQPq5C— Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) September 20, 2019

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a protest where there’s a line to get IN. Scenes at the edge of the Sydney #climatestrike at the Domain pic.twitter.com/fPrlywj6oy

Unsurprisingly enough though, the sheer amount of kickass signs being paraded around by people is an undisputed highlight, with memes, gags, puns, and outrageous amounts of effort aplenty.
The PEDESTRIAN.TV team has been on-the-ground in Sydney snapping off photos of the best ones, which you should absolutely get around below.
Incredibly good work, Sydney!
Melbourne, you’re up!
