Melbourne's  Meeting  Place~~~Federation Square

Meet at Federation Square, where cultures meet, friends meet ,

 minds meet and worlds meet.

We took the scenic route along the Yarra River,

then we visited Eureka Skydeck 88.

It's at Riverside Quay Southbank Melbourne . 

 The fast lift in eureka tower Melbourne seems almost faster than Taipei 101

what its like to clean the world's tallest building.  

 It's  beautiful view on the Skydeck , 

  the sun's out and the spring day feels crisp.

On the Skydeck there was a small kiosk offering takeaway coffee ,

soft drink, ice-cream,  snacks and a fabulous view to go with it.  

The  hightest building in the Southern Hemisphere,

 I had an excited Skydeck on the 88th floorsat 285 meters. 

 The Edge -a glass cube that moved in and out of the building--

88 floors in around 40 seconds--from the ground

I could see the black edge of the box. 

   It's the highest building in Melbourne.
