Sydney Tower in Australia will be celebrating its 25th birthday this year by offering 25 per cent off the cost of entry throughout September.
The attraction – which includes the OzTrek virtual tour of Australia and the Sydney Skywalk glass observation deck – will also be hosting Tower Run-up and Walk-up events on 1 September. Athletes are tipped to ascend the 1,504 steps in less than eight minutes.
The Sydney Tower, which opened on 27 September 1981 at a cost of AUS$36m (US$27.6m, £14.6m, 21.7m euro) is the tallest tower in Australia at 305m (1,000ft) high.
Between 2000 and 2003 the tower boasted three massive sculptures of athletes for the 2000 Olympic Games. Details: www.sydneytoweroztrek.com.au
