Time Warp Bicentennial

Does this have a colonial presence? 

Very special day in the Port of Newcastle in the 1980s. 

 Is the sole high-rise the Latec House, Hunter street west which was out of the ordinary when it was opened, that was in 1959 states NewcastleOnHunter.org. Very strangely in 1988 the building was abandoned for the next twenty years or so until rejuvenated.

Below: Queens Wharf on the same day. 

And No 1 from another angle aimed at the wharf area in the 'the basin'.
