I took this photo from the 36th floor of the Sky Garden in Darwin Brasserie. Sky Garden is also known as the "Walkie Talkie" building because of its unique shape.
When you get to the front of the building, walk through the main entrance where you'll be greeted by staff and asked to go through a quick airport-style security check in. Then, you'll be escorted into one of two elevators that will take you to the 35th floor. Once you come out, turn right through the doorway and then take another right where you should see a set of stairs going up. Walk all the way up the stairs and then take another right turn at the top. You'll see the bar area and another set of stairs to the right which will lead you to the featured shot.
