Hey, yup its in melbourne, the tallest residential building in the world. Nah, the observation deck isn't complete yet, all the tradies are working on building it at the moment. I can tell you that there will be some kind of restaurant or functions room on level 88 though. I am lucky cause I went higher than where the observation tower will be built, right to the very top where all the boilers are.

Ok, i'm not sure how to edit my original post so here is the ford mods transcript:


At work today, I was able to get to the top lvl of the eureka building, very breathtaking. All the cars look like GTA2. The crappy phone camera didn't do it justice but here they are anyhow if ne1 wants a look. Also, some short videos showing how the realto reflects black instead of blue as we are higher than it as well as other misc. stuff

Man that is high! Flinders St station looks puny! Rialto observation deck is a good experience, but now I'm hangin to get up the top of the Eureka tower. Good photos from a phone by the way.
