Thanks for the photos.

Here's a cool one from Chopper 9 showing the roof and (some of) the sun-runners.

Cool you can see all the various compartments on the rooftop. I think I'm somewhere in the crowd back there by the red strips lol.

Has anyone seen it tonight? The whole mech. pent/fins are lit up really reminiscent of One Wall Centre. In the dark I had to make sure I was looking at the right one.

^Amazing shot, it really centres the skyline from up there. It will look great when the top is lit up.

Here's a couple close up shots I took this morning:
