On top of the old carpark between the City Markets and the old Griffin Centre is a new extension to the Canberra Centre which is currently under construction.
From the top of the City Markets carpark the construction looks like this.

Now from ground level, a sign advertising the expansion.
[4]
The construction is filled with “peep holes” around the side which enables people to see what is happening inside without being inside, this first photo isn’t very clear though.
[5]
Looking down Bunda Street you can just see some peep holes and a lot parked vehicles and cranes.
[6]
And some from the peep holes. Note that it was a lot darker than the photos indicates, but the camera compensated for that. I did not use a flash.

Then I took a photo of two cranes, one from Bovis Lend Lease and the other from The Men From Marrs.

Another photo from a peep hole.
[10]
More of the Section 84 construction from Bunda Street.
[11]
[12]
Some signs on a staff entrance.
[13]
And more of the outside of the construction from Bunda Street.
[14]
[15]
And another one of inside the constructions.
[16]
The Men From Marrs crane from near the base of the crane.

And then a photo of the construction work from Ballumbir Street.

Holy Moly. I am posting via proxy from an iBook. This page taking a while to load. Did you ask fora ride in the crane Samuel? It all looks a bit tinny to me JohnB1_B5. Did you take a picture of the Women from Venus crane Samuel?

No Chuck I did not interupt the workers or enter the worksite.
Which bit looks tinny?
There was no such crane, only a Men From Marrs crane. Information about The Men From Marrs can be found [19]

It was a joke Samuel. I was referring to a book by Dr John Gray called ‘Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus’. A self help book for idiots who don’t have a clue about how to relate to others. I think he wrote while sunbathing next to his parents pool. Maybe John has read it?
