| Stacks of formply waiting, October 2017 |
Stacks of formply ready and waiting to be used. Stacked up materials don’t stay stacked up long on this site either. They’re put to use pretty quickly. So far, this is one of the faster moving building sites in Gosford.

| All purpose bag used by crane operator, October 2017 |
These all-purpose bags are used on the building sites to move fiddly bits of rubbish and rubble out of different areas of the site, to fill up with dry materials to move into the site and to fill up with sand and use as weights stacked on construction that needs to be weighted for whatever reason.
The workers on the ground, and sometimes on the back of trucks,
load them up, the crane operator lowers his hook so the workers can put it
through the handles of the bag then they stand back and he raises the hook,
swings the crane’s arm around and lowers the bag to a spot on the site where
two or three other workers are waiting to guide it into position.
Sold out

| Kendall Street’s view, October 2017 |
This view is why the site in the photo above has sold out even though they haven’t started building. That is a million dollar view, over the football stadium and down the length of Brisbane Water to Lion Island and northern Sydney.
