Pinnacle

Where Pinnacle is, 16th April 2018

The Pinnacle site is behind the old Telstra building on Mann Street, opposite the 32 Mann Street site. The views from the upper floors will be of the trees on Kariong Ridge, lovely little Fagans Bay, the Gosford Broadwater and other parts of the Brisbane Water estuary and perhaps also the trees of Rumbalara Reserve.

The yellow crane in the background (right, against hill) is the one on Donnison Street West in West Gosford.

Lots of rocks at Pinnacle too, 16th April 2018

Lots of big rocks in the Pinnacle site too. Gosford is sandstone territory, as the old quarry on top of John Whiteway Drive attests.

You can see the old quarry marked on the map on the little kiosk thing in Kibble Park in the centre of Gosford. And you can see its 19th century products in buildings like the Art Deco building and the Consersatorium on the uphill corners of Mann Street and Georgiana Terrace. If you look at the side of the Conservatorium, you can see the windows of the holding cells from back when it was the police station.

Pinnacle is another tight site, 16th april 2018

The Pinnacle site is so tight, and the parking on Mann Street so tight lately too, that workers' parking is squeezed in on-site.

Pinnacle's only workers' access, 16th April 2018

This narrow driveway is the only access to the Pinnacle site. It comes off Mann Street between a small cafe and the old Telstra building, just opposite the 32 Mann Street site.



 No Activity

No activity on this Henry Parry Drive site, 16th April 2018

While I was up on Henry Parry Drive aiming my camera down into the Pinnacle site, I popped around the curve of the road to see if much more progress has been made on the other active site on Hennry Parry Drive.

The answer was y-e-e--no. It was as silent as the grave again. Not sure what's going on there.



 Locally Owned Locally Made Gosford

For the last couple of weeks I've been putting out the call for local tradies to email me their work contact details and what sort of work they do for a free listing on this website and, when I get the time to add to it again, on my other site: Locally Owned Locally Made Gosford.

And I've just realised I left out a whole slab of local contractors and businesses and makers and growers by just calling for tradies. So any locally owned business or any local maker or grower can send me their work contact details and a bit about their work or business or agri-business. Tell me as much as you can and I'll edit it down so everyone gets around the same amount of screen space as everyone else.

It's FREE but it's for small and medium sized LOCALS ONLY. None with ownership outside the NSW Central Coast and its hinterland suppliers.
