There were police and security everywhere . . . . . . .
This was George St leading to The Rocks . . . . . . .
Police frequently stopped traffic for motorcades and even pedestrians !
Some streets were totally blocked off . . . . . . .
And rubbish bins were sealed off from prying eyes . . . . . .
For a short video clip of our drive . . . . . (sorry about the irrelevant audio)

Ten years ago it was held in Vancouver. The lockdown wasn't too bad because it was before the protest in Seattle and 9-11. They did welded all the manhole covers along the route from the airport to the conference site. All garbage cans in the downrown area were removed.
There still was an incident involved the RCMP pepper-sprayed a group of student protesters. Subsequently, a royal commission was appointed to investigate. The outcome was a near retirement age officer took the blame.
