In Adelaide, Westpac House takes the prize for tallest building. Can you identify it? It's been number one since 1988 and there seems to be no contender jockeying to take over the lead. In Australia, the competition is among Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Sydney, and (though it comes as a surprise to most) Gold Coast. [2011]

Is there actually a legitimate competition for which city in Australia holds the tallest building? I truly don't understand the fascination behind wanting to vie for that kind of title though. Better to be an efficiently run building than wasting materials in storage just to build upwards.
ReplyDeleteMy home city of Virginia Beach is the most populous in Virginia, so they had to build the tallest building in Virginia and take the "title" away from Richmond!
