I only have 2 10/10 favourite scrapers that have already been completed in Australia and this is one of them (the other one is in Melbourne)...and hey, I'm a 4th generation Sydney-sider LOL.

If you've never seen Waterfront Place in the flesh, I mean the cladding, then you are missing out greatly. It changes shapes in all directions and changes colour depending on the light/time of day/weather.

In the right light this building looks fantastic. There's one pic I've got where it's shinning sky blue and a brilliant irridencent gold. I'll scan it in when I get a chance. Got to be my favourite skyscraper. 10/10

Waterfront Place is the most beautiful modern building in Brisbane by the old proverbial country mile. Until Vision is built, of course, which will be the most beautiful in the country. Pity about Baroque. Damn shame.

None of the photos left in this thread do Waterfront Place justice - here's one I took last month:

Love the colours, the shape and the texture. I just think it would look a little better at the 180m/200m mark.

"But I don't Buy WOW Gold (http://www.zyy.com/)RuneScape Gold[/url]want to accept the things I cannot change" Buy WOW Gold (http://www.zyy.com/)is a response I received from a lot of people when first mentioning this idea. "OK, so you are going to get angry, cry and stress yourself out aboutRS Gold (http://www.gobuycheaprsgold.com) something that...you can't do anything about?" - It just doesn't make any sense. If you can change something you don't like then by all means work towards doing that WoW Buy Gold, but otherwise accept what is and focus on other things that matterRuneScape Gold (http://www.rsfarming.com) to you.
