Skydeck - Eureka Tower Melbourne

[lukdib1]

BouncingPurpleCows it is good and when u go to the elevators plz cover ur ears cuz the lift takes 40 seconds to go way up 2 the top! And the gift shop is sooo cool! There's maps, pencils, rulers and even statues!!!

[Badsellcut]

I went up this two weeks ago - great views up there, bit scary though!

[arrrz0rrr9]

Lol I got the gay 'I survived the edge' wristband too.

Living in Mulgrave...near dandenong, close to springvale. but i've never been on this thing. i might get there finally tomorrow...depends on the weather, though. cause it rained in straight for 3 weeks.

[shuffle1122]

[djibizu666]

[u20047]

[nupthatisit]

[razehey]

[larsulrich63]

i drive past its front door everyday driving to work in South Melbourne.... i never even noticed it till after it was built. weird. ive heard others say the same thing.

[atown327]

are you like a multi millionaire ?

[JimShadyUK]

I've been to many around the world, and trust me - you live in a good one. Peaceful, too - if I hadn't had a watch on me, I wouldn't have known when the rush hour was!

[JimShadyUK]

I only spent a few days there, but it was wonderful. I was staying in North Melbourne, but it's a very walkable city (unlike London, unless you're insanely dedicated). The Edge was brilliant, although I saw a load of schoolkids about to go in when I arrived, so I sprinted to get in ahead of them!

[JimShadyUK]

Don't worry - it was a reference to a Suzanne Vega track. If you don't know the song, it would have meant nothing to you. You're very lucky living there - I had a go on the Edge when I was in Australia a couple of months ago, and the view is spectacular. I loved Melbourne - I hope it's as much fun to live in as it is to visit.

[asitejust4u]

Hi JimShadyUK .. could you tell me the track in particular that this is? All i remember is Suzanne doing acoustic versions ..

cheers

[JimShadyUK]

Hi there - the track is "Luka", from the excellent "Solitude Standing" album. There's also a great cover by the Lemonheads if you want a rockier version.

[asitejust4u]

Thanks for the reply

[mattgobba]

i went on that I SURVIVED THE EDGE (and got a wristband saying so)

[JimShadyUK]

Do you know a kid named Luka? Lives on the second floor, I believe.

You're right, the tallest building in the world is in Dubai, but the tallest in the southern hemisphere is the Eureka Tower.
