Current Outing : Eureka Sky Deck – Norman B & Paul P – MCC – Tue 3rd Dec 2024 – Note meeting time: 12:30pm

The final outing for the year will be to the Southern Hemisphere’s highest observation deck located at the top of Eureka Tower in Southbank.

As the Sky Deck doesn’t open until 2:00pm, we will first meet for lunch at 12:30pm at P. J. Obrien’s Irish Pub in the Southgate complex.

After a relaxing lunch, we will then make our way to the Sky Deck entrance in the courtyard beside Eureka Tower. It is just a short walk from the lunch venue.

The basic entrance fee is $36, with concession (including seniors) at $29.

However, if paid for online (melbourneskydeck.com.au), these prices are $30.60 and $24.65 respectively.

There is an additional cost for the ‘Edge Experience’, a glass ‘box’ that extends from the building where it changes from opaque to clear. This leaves you suspended 300 mtrs from the ground. But you can’t take photos. They will take a photo, which you can purchase.

The Sky Deck provides a 360-degree view across Melbourne and the surrounding area. Some of you may have visited it before but Melbourne’s skyline is constantly changing, and the view varies with the weather conditions.

If you have a polarising filter, bring it along. It will help to reduce window reflections.

You are free to remain at the Sky Deck for as long as you wish. While it is not part of the programme, there are various venues nearby for coffee later.
