Sydney Tower
Sydney Tower, or the AMP Centrepoint Tower, is the tallest
free-standing building in the city, and the second tallest in the
country. Situated above the Centrepoint office building and
shopping centre, the tower is one of the main attractions in Sydney
for its 360-degree views and Tower Skywalk platform. The
observation deck is 820 feet (250m) above the city, with an
enclosed viewing platform with information on the points of
interest. OzTrek takes visitors on a virtual adventure, where
diverse Australian landscapes are brought to life with a unique
integration of 3D holographic technology, animated models and
scenic art. The Sydney Tower Skywalk platform sits above the
observation deck at 853 feet (260m) above the ground, twice the
height of the harbour bridge, and harnessed to the glass-floored
platform, daredevils can hang out over the city far below.
