4 cranes visible, looking west from the Singo site, 8th December 2017

Two days ago, on Thursday 7th of December 2017, there were 5 cranes soaring over the Gosford skyline.

Yesterday, Friday 8th of December 2017, there were 7 cranes soaring over it. Gosford's building boom is booming harder.

The cranes:

1. Singo's tower AKA 'Bonython Tower', Mann Street Gosford
2. West Gosford, exact location not yet pinpointed
3. 'Harbour View' site, Wilhelmina Street West Gosford
4. 'Vue' site, Kendall Street Gosford
5. (below) on the site behind the ATO site, Mann Street (southern end) Gosford

Slim black crane (#6), small in comparison to the big yellow ones, on one of the several construction sites on the grounds of Gosford Hospital.

There's a bit of confusion on the streets of Gosford about the "new" hospital. Some people haven't yet realised the "new hospital" actually refers to new buildings on the site of the Gosford Hospital, not to a new hospital altogether. There are only two hospitals in Gosford: the big public one near the golf course and the small private one in North Gosford next to the old Bradys Gully cemetery.

Crane #7 is on a small site at the corner of Watt Street and Beane Street East in Gosford. It's another sloping site, as are so many of the apartment sites around Gosford, but is going ahead great guns.
