The world's 14th tallest residential tower on the South Bank of the Yarra River, Melbourne, Australia. When completed in 2006 it was the tallest but has been surpassed. It is named after the Eureka Stockade, a rebellion during the Victorian gold rush in 1854.
Height of Building 984.3 ft | 300m
3,680 stairs - 92 storeys - 52,000 sq. metres of windows.
This is one of only 7 buildings in the world over 90 storeys.
The golden bees on the side of the building is an art installation by Richard Stringer called Queen Bee.
There is a glass floored viewing platform at the top - for anyone not liking heights it gives the collywobbles :)

Sifting through my old photos bin I came across this one :)
