School Holidays: Day 14 part 2!

Which way?
 Which way?..
 WOW! I wonder whats up there..
 Incredible..
  Look! There's Tiger Land!!
 The people look like ants..
 I can squish the cars with my little finger..
 Spectacular..
 Sensational..
 Look! a worm..
 Is that a boat?..
 I can see the mountains..
 Maybe the flash was not a great idea..
 I can see Flemington Racecourse!
 Zoooooooom..
 Where does the water finish and sky start?..
 Looking down to where we just were.. (zoomed in)

For those thinking of going and need per-swaying here are some facts and figures for you!!

  • Skydeck 88 is the highest public vantage point in the southern hemisphere.
  • Eureka is 984.3ft / 300 meters in height.
