Too windy to raise the jib today ... they plan to try tomorrow (Monday) about 7:30 am (hope not too cold & wet!)

To boot, you can see some of the glass brick to the extreme left of the photo. Come the end of next year, it shall all look so very different.

Good to see the crane up this morning, especially considering the weather conditions. It stands out like crazy in this low rise part of the CBD.

Nice crisp image there Ben, considering the glass and the angle (but good backlighting)!
Cheers

Jesus, look at how they're installing the counterweights!!!
Looks like an electric crane, bigger version of the one at iPad.
Great pic Ben, thanks mate!

Now with this crane up you will get an idea how high the two buildings will be when finished. I'm guessing a tad higher than the horizon. Ben will be at eye level!

Jeez you'd have to have balls to get up there in today's conditions.

REv - i have a friend who was a crane chaser in Sydney before it became an illegal occupation - out on the end of the boom/hook all day - needed for specific and precise fitting and leverage - what a job!
It seems from my observations in B'Bane Cbd that the longer the boom on a hammerehead the bigger the project or the more inaccessable the project is due to awkward plating/footprint. They may still need another yet. (Saw 4 on one bldg in Bris. on Fri).

Awesome photo Ben!, that part of town is definitely going to be very different in a few years time
