Wider view.

This is a wider view of the one I uploaded yesterday of Jet Skis on the Brisbane River. The high rise buildings along this stretch of Eagle Street could be called the financial end of town while along to the right, just before the Story Bridge which is out of sight, they are residential towers.

 

Work on the total revamp of the Eagle Street pier precinct is underway on the lower left. What I really wanted to point out here were the two light coloured and lower multi story buildings at the 11 o'clock position to the yellow buoy in the river. When I was in high school in the late 60's, these were regarded as exceptionally tall back then and my Dad, as a businessman customer of an insurance group who occupied the left one of the two invited him for an inspection. Of course in those distance days we were awed by the height of that building!

 

The Riverside Centre which is the one behind the blue crane received a Queensland Heritage listing in 2023 - refer previous shot.
