I'm STILL afraid of heights

Despite going out to face my fear yesterday up here:



and going in the "EDGE" experience


(not my videos) check out the glass! It is LCD apparently and the windows can switch on and off.







the kids weren't scared at all mad




Eureka Tower
Eureka Tower is the world's tallest residential building, having the most floors available for residential occupancy in the world, when measured either by the height of its roof, or by the height of its highest habitable floor. The building stands 297.3 m in height (300 m above sea level), with 91 storeys above ground plus one basement level. It is one of only six buildings in the world with 90 or more storeys but is merely the 38th tallest building in the world, due to the fact that it does not have a spire or antenna, as well as the fact that apartment buildings generally require less height between floors than office buildings. It is also the tallest building in Melbourne, eclipsing the Rialto Towers, and hence Australia. The single level basement and first 9 floors contain car parking. The building's proximity to the water table as well as the Yarra River made a basement carpark uneconomic to construct. There are a total of 84 floors of apartments (including some floors shared between car parking and apartments) with the remainder being used for building facilities and the observation deck. The actor Nicholas Cage bought a penthouse at the top of the building when he was in Australia filming Ghost Rider.

The Edge
Skydeck 88 also features 'The Edge' - a glass cube which projects 3 metres out from the building - with visitors inside - suspended almost 300 metres above the ground. When you enter, the glass is opaque as the cube moves out over the edge of the building. Once fully extended over the edge, the glass becomes clear to the sounds of smashing glass and machine malfunctions.

I didn't think I could, but I made myself. I would like to do it again at night time or sunset, it would be spectacular!

at the right time of day it sends a reflected shaft of light that we can see from the beach near our place.











(none of these are my photos boxed )
