The capital of the state of Victoria, Melbourne is one of the most popular destinations in Australia and offers countless hours of family fun. There is much to see, do and experience and this lively city is home to many attractions that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Sites of interest include the Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks, St Patrick’s Cathedral, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Melbourne Zoo, Luna Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Not to be missed on your visit to the city is the Eureka Skydeck.
Located along the Yarra River’s Southbank area and close to the central business district, Eureka Tower is the tallest residential building in the world and is an unmistakable sight amidst the cityscape. Boasting an awe-inspiring height of 300 metres, this stunning structure weighs a massive 200,000 tonnes and has an area on top that can withstand high winds. Made up of 92 storeys and 3,680 stairs, the tower also features the fastest lifts in the Southern Hemispheres which travel at incredible speeds of over 9 metres per second, taking passengers to the observation deck on the 88th floor in only 38 seconds!
The Eureka Skydeck at the top offers unparalleled and unforgettable views of Melbourne and visitors are treated to truly breathtaking 360 degree vistas which give one a chance to view such areas as Port Phillip Bay and the CBD. These views are particularly stunning at night when the cityscape comes ‘alive’ with lights.
A unique attraction at the Eureka Skydeck is ‘The Edge’; projecting three metres from the building, this glass cube gives you truly stunning panoramas and an experience of ‘walking on air’! Other features one will find here include an interactive touch display known as the ‘Serendipity Table’, the open air terrace and high powered landmark viewfinders where you can view some of the city’s main attractions.
