Location: Southbank
Opened: 11 October, 2006.
At a startling 297.3 metres, the Eureka Tower is the tallest building in Melbourne and the second tallest in Australia (behind the Q1 building on the Gold Coast). It superseded the height of the Rialto in 2004.
Named after the Eureka Stockade, a defining moment in the history of Victoria, construction began on the tower in August 2001 and took 4 years and 2 months to complete. The windows of the top 10 floors are built of 24 carat gold.
The entire 88th floor houses the highest public viewing platform in the southern hemisphere. The skydeck also features a glass cube known as The Edge which protrudes 3 metres out of the building.
