V8 supercar driving experience

Part of the Barangaroo wharf was used for a fund raising event in aid of flood relief. The V8 Supercar driving experience was won by members of the public who bid online at eBay for the experience.

Unfortunately Lend Lease are about to decimate the Barangaroo wharf and turn it into tower blocks with hotels, shops, and offices. The buildings will be so high that they will suddenly block out a lot of currently clear skyline and cause massive shadows across the harbour. The building where I live currently is a bit of a blot on the landscape and I thought that it would not be allowed to be built in current times. It seems that I am wrong and that all sorts of skullduggery is afoot so that the Barangaroo developement is going ahead despite the wishes of the majority.
