Wheel of Brisbane

This large observation wheel stands in the South Bank parklands on the southern shore of the Brisbane River, opposite the central business district. Installed for the anniversary of a world exposition once held on the site, it carries enclosed air-conditioned gondolas that rotate to give panoramic views over the river, the city towers and the surrounding hills. Rising above the riverside promenade and cultural precinct, it has become a familiar feature of the South Bank skyline, particularly when lit at night.
