My View
My office window is about to lose its view.
Not the sweeping views of the city skyline. That's been gone for a while.
But, right next door to us, they're building a skyscraper. It will eventually be the same height as our building. And for the past couple of months, there's been a fascinating view of cranes, concrete mixers, and various workmen, right outside.
A brief reminder: my office is 80% engineers. We couldn't care less about sweeping city skylines. But cranes? They're cool.
Last week, the crane was getting moved up a couple of floors so that they could start building a bit higher - and every single person in my office stopped working for an hour while we watched the groovy hydraulic lifters raising up the crane...
I'm really going to miss this.

My guess is it is the new Australia Post Headquarters (East end of the CBD, on Bourke St I think)

Could be Australia Post. Certainly the right bit of the city.
