About this audio guide
This guide to Melbourne Skydeck walks you into the Edge, a glass cube on the eighty-eighth floor of Eureka Tower that slides three metres out into open air, nearly three hundred metres above the street. It describes the deliberate sound design built into the ride, clanks and groans engineered to suggest the machinery beneath your feet is failing, and traces the tower's own name back to the Eureka Stockade, the 1854 gold miners' revolt whose flag colors it still wears. Notice which sounds are real and which are theatre as the cube extends.
