Sydney most visible icon with a height of 304 m is the Sydney Tower, formerly known as Centrepoint Tower or AMP Tower that serves as both a communications tower and as a tourist facility.
The Centrepoint Tower project began in late 1970 and it started with the construction of a sixteen level reinforced concrete building. The building was completed in 1974 that accommodated shops and offices. The construction of the tower itself started with the prefabrication of the 46-barrel units that formed the shaft. The diameter of the units is 6.7 m and the weight is 27 tonnes. The turret is an eight-level welded steel frame structure that was manufactured at the base of the shaft. As the shaft progressed the turret was raised up. The bottom part of the spire was erected in as the shaft progresses. The second part of the spire was erected when the tower structure was completed. The spire is made of 56 cables those weights 7 tonnes each. Total weight of the tower is 40,000 tonnes.

 AMP Tower by Gypsystravels
We didn't get a chance to climb to the top of the tower on this trip. We opted instead on having lunch at the "Summit" a 5* restaurant that revolves located at Australia Square, 44th floor.

 View from top of the tower by martin_nl
I went into the tower on one of the last days of my visit and I felt sad after seeing all the videos in this virtual tour. It really takes you around almost all of Australia!! This is a great attraction, so don't miss out! Leave a Comment Address: Market StreetDirections: Entrance on Market Street. Enter the Centrepoint building.

For splendid views over Sydney you must go up the tower! It's certainly not cheap with a ticket price of 23,50 AU$ (there are some discount voucher in several tourist brochures), but it's definitely worth it on a sunny & clear day. Included in the ticket price is the admission to Oz Trek, a simulated ride across Australia.
If you're brave enough, you can have a walk on top of the restaurant/observation section of the tower.
The tower which was completed in 1981 is 305 m tall with the observation deck at 250m. Leave a Comment

 AMP Centerpoint Bldg,
Sydney by pchamlis
The tower is over 300 meters tall, and on a clear day, you can see, in addition to all of Sydney, all the way to the Blue Mountains!
Don't worry, there IS an elevator, so you'll not have to take the stairs, should you choose to ascend the tower. The cost, if I remember exactly, for an adult entry is A$15. For your money, you'll get a terrific view of Sydney. And although A$15 isn't cheap, it's less than climbing the Harbour Bridge. ; )
There are restaurants and various stores at the base of the AMP Centerpoint Tower. Leave a Comment Address: Pitt and Market Streets, SydneyPhone: 02 9223 0933Directions: From the NW corner of Hyde Park, take Market Street for a little over a block. The tower is on the right.

Towering 300m above the city, Centrepoint Tower offers magnificent views that extend to the Central Coast to the north, Wollongong to the south and the Blue Mountains to the west.
There is also a great Restaurant on top floor which spins around while you're dining. You get to experience Sydney from way high above the city and eat excellent food. We tried Crocodile meat while we were there. Very Chewy!! Leave a Comment Address: Enter From Market StreetPhone: 02 9231 9300

 View of City and Monorail by Marpessa
Just be warned that when you buy your ticket to go up the tower - it is double ended, so that you may go up to the observation deck (and restaurant), and to see the skytour show - which gives a sound and visual show of what has made Australia.... Australia.
So don't be like me and buy two tickets - when you only need one!
Open: Sun-Fri: 9am - 10.30pm
Sat: 9am - 11.30pm
Has good wheelchair access. Leave a Comment Address: Centrepoint Shopping Mall, Cnr Market & Pitt Sts.Phone: 9231 9300Directions: Central Sydney.
