Before you can enjoy the breathtaking view of Sydney and its surrounds
from the largest observation deck of the Southern Hemisphere you
will experience Skytour
- The Great Australian Expedition.
Skytour is a virtual journey through Australia:
Audio adventure - in a shaded room you will hear typical sounds
of the australian bush
Holographic journey through cities, bushland and deserts
A virtual adventure travel for all senses - on huge screens
landscapes move by, the visitors' seats shake, you can smell the
eucalypts
We did not manage to find out whether it is possible to visit the
observation deck without going through the Skytour. We like the
Skytour a lot but we don't want to experience the multi-sensory
adventure each time we only want to take pictures of this wonderful
city.
The 305 m high AMP Tower's turret is fixed by 56 cables, each weighing
7 tons. The tower itself weighs 2.239 tons. One of the floors contains
a 162.000 litre water tank which serves as a counterbalance to the
wind gusts.
After having enjoyed the stunning views of Port Jackson in the
north, the Pacific Ocean in the east, Botany Bay in the south and
the Blue Mountains in the west it could be a great idea to have
lunch or dinner in one of the two rotating restaurants.
