The Southbank area of Melbourne is across the Yarra River from the city center. This stretch along the river has great restaurants and shopping along with Crown Casino, Eureka Skydeck, and Melbourne Convention Center. We walked from the Docklands area along the river to Princes Bridge, stopping for lunch and visiting the Skydeck.

Eureka Tower at 975 feet (297 meters) is the tallest building in Melbourne and the second tallest in Australia. On the 88th floor, the Eureka Skydeck 88 provides fantastic views of the city including the Central Business District, King’s Domain, Melbourne Park, South Melbourne, and surrounding areas. It was well worth the visit.
