Eureka Tower is in Southbank, Melbourne. It is the world's tallest residential building. On Level 88 is Skydeck which the public can visit for an entrance fee.Skydeck 88 is the highest public vantage point in the Southern Hemisphere. Eureka opened earlier this year and as Gordon enjoys the experience of views from tall buildings, this was part of his Christmas present.

On a clear day like today, the views and perspective of Melbourne from such a vantage point are spectacular.
And for those who like statistics, the top of the tower can flex up to 600mm in high winds.
3 600 stairs - 92 storeys.

An added attraction is The Edge - a glass cube which projects 3 metres out from the building - with you in it - suspended almost 300 metres above the ground!








Seen here is the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) and in the foreground is Rod Laver Arena complete with the outside courts that will soon come alive with the Australian Open.
