Just got back from Melbourne. My first thought of Eureka when seen from a distance...wow, that thing is tall, but really quite ugly. Then when I saw it about 500 metres away along the Yarra river....yeah, fugly. But then I walked around to right in front, then to the other side...it was far less ugly from those vantage points. The top portion also changes colour. The tower grew on me. Not a beauty, but not nearly as ugly as I first believed.
The view from the top is fantastic. We had a conference reception at Eureka 89.
