#3210 ... Uplifting

Very large crane ... resting, as too much wind to lift new air con units onto Bowen House. This is the upper tip of the crane sitting on a 4 wheel bogey. 

#3209 ... A record

Yes there is a growing market for vinyl records. This is Lo-Cost Music in Petone. Apparently the Japanses are renown for producing the best as they use the highest quality vinyl.
