An attractive skyline adds much to the beauty of a city. In the Australian cities, which are your favorite skyscrapers? Some of mine are:
MELBOURNE - The magnificent Rialto is my favorite skyscraper in the Victorian capital. Other tall buildings that look nice in Melbourne are the Eureka Tower, the art deco buildings at the Eastern end of Collins street, the gothic style ANZ building, Bourke Place and the Melbourne Central Tower.
BRISBANE - The Riparian Plaza tower located near the Eagle Street Pier is a very attractive building that looks much like Perth's QV1 tower. Waterfront Place, the Brisbane Skytower, and Infinity are nice buildings too.
GOLD COAST - In some cases biggest is best, and the best of the many tall buildings on the Gold Coast is the Q1 Tower in Surfers Paradise. If you are visiting the Gold Coast and have a head for heights, the Q1 Skypoint climb is well worth it. From high on the rooftop on a clear day you can see Brisbane in the north, the Byron Bay lighthouse in the south and the hinterland in the west. The Soul Building and the Circle on Cavil buildings are also nice structures.
SYDNEY - The MLC Tower is my favorite Sydney skyscraper, but in Sydney you tend to think more about structures such as the Harbour Bridge and Opera House than the high rises.
ADELAIDE - The South Australian capital doesn't have many tall buildings, but the largest - Westpac House on the corner of King William and Currie Streets - is a nice building, its appearance making look it like it is made of sandstone.
PERTH - Perth's most attractive skyscraper is no longer its tallest, but it is still very nice. This is the St Martin's Tower, the building with the revolving restaurant on the top floor. It is a fairly simple white office tower, but the ornate rooftop design is what makes it stand out. The tallest building in Perth the Central Park Tower is a nice structure as are the South 32, QV1 and Exchange Plaza Buildings.
