Australia’s first observation wheel, the Southern Star opened in November. Located at Waterfront City, the 120 metre high wheel (equal in height to a 40 story building) provides a stunning edition to the city skyline and boasts some of the most spectacular views over the city, Port Phillip Bay and beyond. The Southern Star features 21 enclosed air-conditioned floor-to-ceiling glass cabins and world-first LED lighting system providing stunning ever-changing displays at night. Tickets to ride the Southern Star Observation Wheel cost $29 (adult) and $17 (child).
