-Tuesday 24th March, 2009-
Had lunch with my cousins, aunt from South Africa and another from Richmond NSW in the Centre Point Tower in Pitt Street, large pointy tower in down town Sydney. There were renovations and repairs being done to the building so most of the tower was closed off to the public except for the viewing platform and restaurant and of course the opportunity for the thrill seeking tourist to ride to the top.
Funny I’ve been to Sydney quite a number of times but up to yesterday had never got round to having a meal in the Revolving restaurant. It’s quite high up and one would come quite a nasty cropper if one fell out of the window. Or at least I assume so (anyone who would like to disprove that theory is quite welcome to prove me wrong).
The bar etc in the middle of the restaurant and windows stay static but the area where you sit and eat slowly revolves, giving you a slow birds eye view of the city while you eat. It is fairly well priced considering the views and what they have to offer in the way of food, which you can help yourself to from the buffet (which includes prawns, shrimps and even kangaroo if you should be so tempted).
Afterwards we went for a walk around the Rocks, where the first convicts served their indefinite sentences then went our separate ways.
