The Journey : Day 7 Australia : Melbourne City

Day 7 sees me going about the city of Melbourne visiting tourist attraction locations such as the Southern Cross Station (apologies pic not available as not too nice), Eureka Skydeck, Melbourne 360 as well as Korean dinner with my family.

Eureka Skydeck 88; the highest tower in Southern Australia has a lift that can take you up to the top floor in 36 seconds if I'm not mistaken. You'll be amazed at the speed. Also at the peak of the building as you can from the picture that it has some parts which is gold in color and you are not mistaken as it is really made of pure 18k gold! WOW! Talk about building plated with gold! To get up there you're required to pay a fee of AUD 16.50 and once you reach the top you have a magnificent view of Melbourne City 360 degrees.

They have a beautiful lounge and visitor seating area as well as fully glass panel to have great view over the city. The building also comes with another attraction whereby a small portion of it has a mechanism that can extend out of the building in a 3X3 m glass box which they named it The EDGE! It's a full glass box whereby bottom, side & up are all made of glasses and it's an exhilarating experience though it comes with an additional cost of AUD 12 and if you require your photo taken in there, it would cost another AUD 15 per photo.

As for Melbourne 360 it is also another high rise building with 360 degrees view of Melbourne and it costs only AUD 14 with additional promotion whereby you're allowed to come back on the same day to have a night view which sadly i did not go :( At night time me and my family gathered to have a nice and wonderful Korean BBQ meal at Chinatown which is simply delicious to the last drop :D
