Eureka Skydeck 88, the wonder of Melbourne! ......................................................... Skydeck 88 is the only observation deck in the world that can thrill you with the Edge. A glass cube which projects 3 metres out of the building, 300 metres up - with you in it! It is the highest public vantage point in the Southern Hemisphere. Eureka is 984.3 ft/ 300 metres in height. The top of the Tower can flex up to 600 mm in high winds. However, two 300,000 litre water tanks on level 90 & 91, which the public are not accessible to, prevent any excess swaying. The lifts travel at more than 9 metres/ 29.53 ft per second making them the fastest in the Southern Hemisphere. It has 3680 stairs - 92 storeys - 52000 sq metres of windows. The glass on Eureka s top 10 levels is 24 carat gold plated. Eureka used 110,000 tonnes of concrete and weighs 200,000 tonnes. Eurecas white horizontal lines represent the linear line markings on a surveyors measuring staff. Oh, I forgot to say something special. Eureka Skydeck is the highest building in Melbourne! It costs $ 20 per person for the public to enter. But if you are a student, you will be charged $ 5 less. how nice! Reference: Eureka Skydeck Level 88 Visitor Guide
