Eureka TowerThe Eureka Tower is the tallest building in Melbourne and the
tallest residential building in the world, standing at just over
984ft (300m) tall, offering 360-degree views over the city. There
is a public observation deck on level 88, the Skydeck, which
affords visitors with a head for heights a testing experience: a
chance to be suspended above the city in a glass cube (The Edge)
that extracts itself from the building by 10ft (3m) to hang out
over the city far below. On entry into the cube, the glass is
frosted and moves out over the edge of the building, but as soon as
the cube is in place the glass unfrosts to the sound of smashing
glass. Address: Riverside Quay, Southbank Website: www.eurekaskydeck.com.au Telephone: Skydeck/The Edg Opening Time: The Skydeck is open daily, from 10am to 10pm; The
