Taken from the observation deck of Centrepoint in Sydney, stands about 300m high.

Re: Dont look down!
We went to The Centrepoint AMP tower the last time we were in Sydney......the weather was what the Australians call 'ordinary'.......meaning a bit grey and overcast. I got some pics too, but they suffer from reflection off the glass.
I enjoyed the spectacular views and we went into the virtual reef ride too......your picture brings back very happy memories. Thanks!

Re: Dont look down!
It looks very similar to Sky Tower in Auckland. I got some pics from the observation deck at the top of that. They have some glass pannelling on the floor of the observation deck and when you walk over it, it's like there's nothing underneath you... It did nothing for my vertigo but it made Sparks laugh at the look on my face.

Same sort of thing but this has a glass bottomed platform that you walk out on, it was closed the day we went up though, you can see it on the left of the tower on this photo

Re: Dont look down!
Oooh, I definitely wouldn't be walking out onto that. There is a similar one at Sky Tower and daft people actually jump off it like a controlled bungy jump. Yikes!!!!!!
