Views of Melbourne from the Eureka Tower
The Eureka Tower, at 300m, is the tallest building in Melbourne, Australia. The observation deck at the top offers phenomenal views of downtown Melbourne and as far as the coast and the Dandenong Mountains. Thrill-seekers will have fun at The Edge, a glass cube which slides out from the interior of the building and features some terrifying special effects!
