Week 211

EUREKA SKYDECK 88

1.  Looking down on the 162m tall Arts Spire, with Princes Bridge on the left and the Alexandra Gardens on the far right
The round building is the State Theatre.

2. Towards the northeast, Federation Square below and St Paul's Cathedral in the centre foreground; Fitzroy Gardens in
the middle distance, right.

3. Zooming in on Federation Square. Note the train lines from Flinders Street station running out from under the Square,
and the Forum Theatre with its verdigrised dome.

4. The view westwards along the Yarra River. The Aquarium is in the foreground on the right bank of the river, while one
gets a partial look at the Telstra Dome on the right. The bridge in the distance is the Bolte Bridge.

5. A bit more to the north, and here one looks down on the Rialto Tower (the tallest dark tower), once Melbourne's tallest
tower block. The roof of the new Southern Cross railway station is also just visible in front of Telstra Dome.

6. Looking out over the Melbourne Exhibition Building. Williamstown lies beyond the first bay.

7. This is the view looking towards the southwest. City Road stretches away from us, crossed by the curve of Power St,
while Kings Way crosses over the road a bit further on. Also in view is the West Gate freeway.

8. The PriceWaterHouseCoopers building, next to it the Freshwater Place
apartment block and just beyond that the tower belonging to the Crown
Casino.

9. This photo was taken through one of the gold-tinted windows and it took quite a bit of work to restore some sort of
normal colour, as the original came out a sickly green! Looking out over South Melbourne and Albert Park. Port
Phillip Bay in the background.

10. This is as close as I could get to looking right down. We are looking down
on the intersection of City Road and Southbank Boulevard .
