Heights checked 28 Oct 2026 (AEST) against each Wikipedia article. Buildings are measured to their tip or spire unless noted. Sources measure some landmarks differently, so we say which height we use.

Just for fun: no money, no prizes. A run only counts once it ends, and we store just the streak number, with no names and no accounts.
