Australia's top city lookouts
1. EUREKA TOWER, MELBOURNE - The latest addition to the world of observation decks, SkyDeck 88 at Eureka Tower is almost 300m above the street, making it the highest public vantage point in the Southern Hemisphere. The 360-degree views are extraordinary - from the tower you can look down on the MCG turf, out across the bay or watch aircraft land at Melbourne Airport. For an extreme thrill, ride The Edge, a glass cube that projects 3m out from the building, or take in the breezes from the open terrace. Also on the 88th floor is a shop and cafe. On the ground floor is the hi-tech Serendipity Table, which explores the history of Melbourne.
