Its a massive basement job for this one. Wow.

More impressive than the hole they dug for the new hospital on Pulteney/Angus Streets? Now THAT was a hole.

To me its just as impressive as the foundation job that was done for Australia 108 in Melbourne.

Maybe a bit early for some here. But I remember being hoisted on my old man's shoulders looking over the fence of the Myer Centre construction. That was one hell of a hole.

...Myer Centre... That was one hell of a hole.

It still is.

Hi Norman, I just turned down the brightness on your picture. Hope you don't mind. I went passed this site on Tuesday but could not see much at all from street level. So until this project gets to ground level we rely on you so keeping taking pictures from your vantage point.

Do we know if there are any new renders seeing as they are changing the cladding due to fire safety concerns?

A couple more pictures taken through a crack in the fence. Ground floor columns are being formed up . some have been poured and some just have the reinforcing in place and some just have the starter bars (the bits of reinforcing sticking out of the ground).
