Superb pictures!

Gee Kai you are up pretty high, I hope you weren't too scared

You definitely need a new camera and a few more pens to say the least I thought I could expect more from you

Anyway if you look closely you can see me in that building with the light on......working

Thanks for sharing

Great shot Kai.....

When the wife and I were there in Jan, all we ended up seeing was lot's of clouds!!
Still, it's such an awesome view from there...The elevator ride up is amazingly quick!!

You know, if the bulding fell over, being on the skydeck could land you smack dab in the middle of the Flinders St Station...

Great shots, thanks for posting!

But too many tourist is not good either. Those who have been to bali will know what im talking about; its like visiting another australian city.

heck, even in singapore, the locals feel foreign in their own country because of too many foreigners.

MRT in Singapore.... get into one...

look ahead: foreigners from China
look left: foreigners from India
look right: foreigners from Philippines
look back: a small no. of locals


Very soon, the population size of foreigners will soon exceed that of the locals (its already @ 40%!!!)

Great pictures & city- was lucky enough to spend a couple of days there back in the late 90's !!

I know this maybe a bit of a generalisation but never met people more friendly than the australians !!

I served with Australian troops in Iraq in 2003. Aussie troops are very not only very friendly but also when it comes to trying out different foods they are more open and bold.

Lovely and great shots of the Melbourne city! Are those taken with your newly acquired camera?
