Travelog Australia 2015: Eureka Skydeck

Date: June 25th, 2015

To get to Eureka tower from the travel office, we had to walk 1.2km but we dont really feel the distance. The atmosphere was very nice and there're plenty to see once we cross the bridge to Yarra Promenade. We're lucky to be on the bridge when the fire show started at 8pm. *double click photo for bigger view
 Being at night, we had some difficulty in locating the tower. We pretty much just walked along the Promenade until we saw a signboard pointing to the Skydeck. There weren't so many people when we entered the tower at 8.30pm. I guess since it's Thursday, not the w'end. There were a group of highschoolers there though. 


Eureka Skydeck: Melbourne’s greatest point of view.Situated in the heart of Southbank in the iconic Eureka Tower, the Skydeck stands at a staggering 297 metres above the streets of Melbourne. Both locals and visitors regard the Skydeck as one of the best things to do in Melbourne.

The observation deck has the same feel like KL Tower, except it was dark and not a restaurant. It was also quiet but night view was mesmerizing. No clouds in the sky and u can even see clearly where Port Phillip was. One side it was bright with lights, and the other dark towards the sea.
There were 2 paid photo section there- Vertigo (i think it was AUD15) and the Edge (minimum AUD12). There are few photo options available (e.g 2photos with frame, multiple size etc).

Again, I lost all hard copies of both Vertigo and the Edge. So what's left is the candid photo of Vertigo that I took from the counter screen.

We pretty much stayed closed to the closing time. We walked to the hostel to check in right after. This was when I realized I lost my passport. That my friend, is another story.......
