Eureka Skydeck, Southbank

Australia's highest observation deck can be found at the Eureka Tower, located in Southbank, just across the Yarra River from Melbourne's CBD.

The viewing area was first opened in May 2007 and occupies the entire 88th floor of the tower. From the 285 metre high observation deck, visitors can enjoy day and night views of Melbourne's CBD, the city's sporting precinct, Southbank, Docklands, beaches along Port Phillip and as far east as the Dandenong Ranges.

Indoor and outdoor viewing areas as provided. For thrill-seekers, step into "The Edge" which is a glass cube that extends itself 3 metres out from the building, creating the illusion that you're suspended in mid-air.
