EurekaTower.
The Eureka Tower is the world's tallest residential tower, and as I walked towards it and around it the walls echoed with the sound of Lewis Hamilton achieving fastest time in friday's practice session on Melbourne's city centre grand prix race track.
See HERE.
The lifts travel at 9 metres per second and are the fastest in the southern hemisphere.
The glass on the top 10 floors is 24 carat gold plated, and reflects the dramatic events of the gold miners' struggle for fair trade.
The red stripe visible towards the top of the tower is a memorial to those miners who lost their lives.
The tower has 92 storeys, 3,680 stairs, used 110,000 tonnes of concrete, weighs 200,000 tonnes and the top can flex up to 600mm in high winds.
The building took 4 years to build and cost A$500 million.
