Eureka Climb - 1,642 stairs


Hi V ... Eureka Tower seen here from Birrarung Marr is the tallest building in Melbourne.  It is 297.3 metres (975 feet) with 92 floors. It is currently the 9th highest residential building in the world and contains the highest viewing platform, Skydeck, in the Southern Hemisphere.  It is the venue for the annual Eureka Climb with hundreds of participants walking or running the 1,642 stairs to the top.  This years event is on 18 November 2012 and raises money for disadvantaged young people.  See you at the bottom J.
