Thanks for posting FP.
I made another visit this morning and it has come along so much since then. That photo looks about 4 weeks old.
* The southern stand structural steel is almost fully covered in concrete structure now - ie. the pre-cast slabs that accommodate the seating.
* The eastern stand in the picture above now has 3 bays of the same structural steel erected - the same stuff you can see in the photo above at the southern end. It has been erected in the area where you can see the concrete poured in the above photo on the eastern side.
* The western stand (corporate side) is now almost complete at ground/pitch level all the way to the southern end, as opposed to the photo above which only shows it completed to approximately the half way line. There is also a lot of concrete formwork and scaffolding being erected for the first level along the whole western side. Therefore the best viewing point of the reconstruction (on that western side)will soon be blocked. Bugger. Already, just in the past two weeks, the field is now out of sight. With this, the northern end lower works were also now completely obstructed.
* The south west corner will soon be the only really good viewing point, and only if you stand on some treated pine logs outside the building fence. I expect this view also to be lost in the next month or so.
I've said it before, but the speed of the progress is amazing. Well done builders and state govt. I'm very impressed. Good weather has helped, although I know the site was closed down last week on that record hot day. I'm guessing the same thing may have happened today as well, after I left, because last weeks temp record was broken again today.
