So I went and had another look on my lunch break, there is a black crane base on the Western side of the site, out of shot of the photo posted by matthawke. Sorry, no photographic evidence, but glad I haven’t gone mad!
Thought I was going mad too — but sure enough, it's there (have to
crane my neck to see it from my vantage point!)...

Oddly enough the crane base is no longer there.

I wonder if they are now using a local crane company?

My understanding is there will be two (2) cranes.
One will be Multiplex's crane and the other will be local.

Agree - thanks for the photos.
There must be some interesting engineering calculations involved in building and operating a tower crane on a cantilevered base. I reckon the operator might check the bolts holding it down at the beginning and end of every shift!
