You can observe the top of the AMP Tower of Sydney on the above picture. The construction of the Tower of Sydney started in 1970 and was opened to public in 1981. The designer of the tower was Donald Crone. The tower is the tallest structure of Sydney and second tallest in Australia. The tallest structure is the Q1 Building in Surfers Paradise, Australia. The Sydney Tower has a height of three hundred and five metres and the Q1 building is three hundred and twenty three metres high. The AMP Tower is considered as the safest building in the world, there are fifty six cables that stabilise the tower. The tower has four hundred and twenty windows which are cleaned by a window cleaning machine, the cleaning is done in two days. There are three double deck lifts in the tower which needs around forty seconds from top to bottom. The emergency exit of the tower is the one thousand and five hundred stairs. It is a great experience to have a visit in the tower of Sydney for adults and children and visitors will have a fabulous view of Sydney city and even further.
