Impressive! I love demolitions.
One thing, though ..... you know what I'm going to say
..... it wasn't the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere, or even Australia, as it was only 198m tall. (I did a bit of work with tall towers in one job I had hence knowing that 198m isn't that tall, even for Australia).
The honour goes to the old VLF transmitting tower near Sale, Victoria, which is still standing at 432m. Next is the Indosiar TV tower in Jakarta at 395m, the North West Cape main tower at 389m, then its other towers at 364m, the Sky Tower in Auckland at 328m, then the Q1 building on the Gold Coast at 323m, Sydney Tower at 309m, and so on.
