Breathtaking Views Melbourne
Eureka Tower is the tallest building in Melbourne, standing some 300 metres tall. Located in Southbank, the building is named after the Eureka Stockade, a significant time in Victoria's history. The building incorporates a gold crown, symbolising the gold rush period, and has a red stripe to represent the blood spilt during the stockade.
The observation deck of the Eureka Tower is called Skydeck, and is the highest public vantage point in Australia. There are 30 viewfinders on the Skydeck, so visitors can explore Melbourne from this fabulous location.
Skydeck also has The Edge - a glass cube that suspends you 300 metres above the ground. As you set foot into this glass cube, you will find yourself projected three metres out from Eureka Tower, giving you a clear view across the city.

One of the most exciting new experiences in Melbourne, the Southern Star provides views that extend over the city and beyond, as far as Geelong.
Based on the same concept as the popular London Eye, this giant ferris wheel rises to almost 120 metres, the equivalent of a 38 storey building.
Located within Waterfront City, part of Docklands, the observation wheel's distinctive style has changed the skyline of Melbourne forever! Cabins carry up to 20 people each, and the experience lasts for 30 minutes.
