Lonely Planet review for Outlook Tower & Camera Obscura

An entertaining commentary accompanies this Heath Robinson–ish 19th-century device that uses lenses and mirrors to throw a live image of the city onto a large horizontal screen. Stairs lead up through various displays on optics to the Outlook Tower, which offers great views over the city.
