The Tower of Babel never really existed outside the Bible and certain Jewish midrashim. When the Jews arrived in Babylon during the Babylonian Exile, they were amazed to see the great stepped pyramid which, to their rustic eyes, seemed to go almost to heaven. They learnt of Sumerian epics that describe a time when all humans shared a single language until the gods intervened to create a confusion of tongues. Thus, Jewish lore syncretised these discoveries to create the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. The stepped pyramid no longer exists, but it was simply built from bricks.
Actually, the tower of Babel was never completed. Men wanted to build the tower so they could reach heaven, but God made their languages scramble so they couldn't complete it.
The Sydney Tower (known as the Centrepoint Tower and also by a few other names) was begun in 1970 and completed in 1981.
