Allan Thomas on a swing stage at CIG Port Kembla. 1980’s. We would go on the signwrite this tower at least on two other occasions as the name changed to BOC and the logo went through a couple of updates. Oxygen was on standby incase the oxygen levels dropped due to toxic gas venting nearby. Photo by David Thomas
