Standing at 300 meters tall, with 88 floors, as a residential building with 24 karat gold infused windows on the top 8 floors, Eureka Tower is an impressive sight.
As we approached, I thought this was worthy of a panoramic photo. I began to ask myself if I really like heights that much, but I figured it was manageable. We got our tickets, got in the lift up to the 88th Floor and our hosts informed us that there was an optional “edge” experience that you could opt for, this included entering a retractable space that extends out from the building and it completely glass, frosted glass that with the flip of a switch clarifies and you are standing in a glass box 88 stories in the air! I didn’t have the fortitude to take the challenge, but Amy and David both ventured out there!
I took this picture as I observed from the outdoor observation deck.
The Tower gave a great opportunity to view the city from above everything! The popular sites looked so small! I really enjoyed the experience Philip and Helen of the Moorleigh Moorabbin were our hosts and I thank you!
Hello GSEers,
It was great to host you for the day in Melbourne and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
I’ve uploaded some of the photos I’ve taken onto our Club blogsite. Here’s the address:
