The Arts Centre Spire, focal point of the Victorian Arts Centre. I saw pictures of this for years and never understood what it was for. It must be a radio/TV tower, right? Does it have an observation deck somehow? Nope, it's simply one very large piece of art. The spire is for decoration only, and meant to evoke both the Eiffel Tower and a ballerina's tutu. It is one of Melbourne's most recognisable landmarks, and I guess served an obvious purpose for locals all along.
