Picture yourself within an enclosed glass box, 300 metres above the ground.
Is it enough to make your insides quiver with anticipation or gurgle with panic? As the view below you blurs and an overwhelming sense of vertigo and dizziness makes your knees buckle, is this a sensation you would deliberately seek out?
Our Rotary Club certainly did on Monday 4 February.
The intrepid Rotarians threw their acrophobic cares to the wind and elevated themselves to the lofty heights of the Eureka Sky Tower and stand out on the 'Edge'. Not even showercaps on their feet so as not to crack the 'delicate' glass beneath their feet was enough to put them off from walking out onto the edge to defy the feeling of vertigo.
Skydeck 88 is the only observation deck in the world that can thrill you with this glass cube which projects 3 metres out from the building - with you in it - suspended almost 300 metres above the ground. Around you can see the spectacular awe inspiring Melbourne landscape, below you a drastic drop to the quiet world below.
So if you want to enjoy the experience, we suggest you turn off your pacers, take off your glasses or close your eyes. That's the only way for vertigo not to get you....
