Located in the heart of the city, Melbourne Skydeck captures everything that is special about Melbourne and beyond.
At Melbourne Skydeck, the southern hemisphere’s highest observation deck, the city comes to you when you take it all in from nearly 300 metres high. It’s an experience on another level. The Skydeck experience features Bar 88, in association with Bollinger, operated by the Eureka 89 team. With 360° panoramic views all day and night, you can relax and enjoy all of Melbourne’s legendary views with a delicious snack and cool drink.
See Melbourne on the Edge ::
Push the boundaries of thrill-seeking when you step into the Edge. A world-first, the Edge suspends daring guests in a transparent glass cube that projects out from Melbourne Skydeck, leaving them suspended nearly 300 metres above the streets of Melbourne. Challenge your friends, face your fears, or execute an unforgettable proposal.

Discover incredible natural beauty and rich history in La Perouse. This beautiful peninsula in Sydney’s southeast is where Captain Arthur Phillip’s First Fleet initially landed in 1788, before deciding to settle at Sydney Cove.
La Perouse is named after a French explorer who arrived in Botany Bay a week after the First Fleet. Learn about the expedition of Comte de la Perouse at the La Perouse Museum, found in the heritage-listed Cable Station. The museum houses the complete Atlas of the Voyage of La Perouse and tells the ongoing story of this important suburb in Sydney’s history, including that of the local Aboriginal community.
Nearby is the 1880s-built Bare Island Fort, which you might recognise from the Tom Cruise film Mission Impossible 2. Once a quarter on Bare Island, you can experience Blak Markets, a wonderful day of traditional Aboriginal dance performances, indigenous arts and craft stalls, and tasty bush tucker experiences.
- Things to do
The water around Bare Island is a popular spot for scuba diving and snorkelling, home to soft coral, sea stars, pretty sponge gardens and pygmy seahorses. Up on the headland is the Henry Head walking track, a 4km return track to Endeavour Lighthouse and World War II battlements, offering great bird-watching and whale watching. Walk a little farther to Cape Banks for even more breathtaking bay and ocean views.
Frenchmans Bay faces into Botany Bay, offering calm swimming waters and a beautiful sandy beach. Congwong Beach in Kamay Botany Bay National Park is another calm beach, perfect for swimming, snorkelling, fishing and picnics. The neighbouring Little Congwong Beach is a secluded spot, also in the national park, and while it isn’t officially a nudist beach, people have been known to bare all here.
Getting there
Getting to La Perouse in Sydney’s southeast is easy by public transport, with direct buses from the city centre. The route from the CBD will take you through inner city Surry Hills, Randwick and Kingsford, before getting to beachside Maroubra, Malabar and Little Bay. Alternatively, it’s a 30-min drive.
