It was 6am when the builders on the apartment tower on the site of the old Musos Corner shop in Newcastle West started up the machinery for the day's work. At that hour of the day, it sounded like an earthquake.
The traffic bollards were dragged out into the road, and a few trucks were rolling around. One of the builders saw a young guy sleeping in his car across the street outside the new Musos Corner, which moved into the former Spotlight building in 2022.
