On Tuesday 21 september 2011 Botany primary students went to the Sky tower. We learnt that the sky tower is 21 million KG!!WOW that's heavy.
More than 1000 people built it.The sky tower can withstand winds up to 200 kph now that's an amazing structure.
The sky tower is the tallest building around even bigger than the Effiel tower,Statue of Liberty,and the Empire State building.
At a normal pace it would take someone about 24 minutes to climb 1,029 steps to the main obeservation level.
The sky tower lifts travel at 18 kilometers per hour, making a trip to the main observation level a quick 40 seconds.
It was built by August 3 1997 and took 33 months to build this amazing structure out of concrete,glass,and metal.
It has 300 aerials coming off the tip of this man made structure to help t.v and police,ambulance and those types of things.
The best parts were when we could stare out the lift and look down the bottom and looking at the sky deck.
In the the end some people were talking about how awesome the Sky tower was and what they had learnt I also heard someone say that our new topic was awesome.
