The crane's coming down
I'm really not sure how it's all going to work, but they've started taking down the crane(s) on the very tall Eureka Tower. I was in the area today and luckily had the camera with me. The smaller crane removed the boom from the larger crane, then lifted the boom apart, presumably to lower it part by part.
The smaller crane lifts the boom off the winch base
The boom is laid on the roof to be dis-assembled (view from other side)
The boom is taken apart.

Saw a piece in the Hun a few weeks ago describing how it was to come down...
That smaller crane disassembles and lifts down the big one. Then a micro crane goes up which disassembles and lifts down the small one. And then the micro one is able to be brought down in pieces via the lift shaft...
Great logistical stuff... I'd wondered how they did it, and half wondered whether every building had a leftover crane stuck on top of the building forever...
