Sky Wheel at Birrarung Marr
Elizabeth January 3rd, 2008
After enduring weeks of my whining, Tim finally came with me to go on the Giant Sky Wheel on the river. It’s supposedly the biggest travelling Ferris wheel in Australia, and in a couple of weeks it’ll be on its way somewhere else.
The view was beautiful from the top – there was a clear view of the river and cityscape, Federation Square and the MCG on the other side of us. My lenses weren’t fast enough to take a decent photo from the top, but even from the ground the view is really pretty.
The Sky Wheel has extended its stay at Birrarung Marr until January 28th, if you’re yet to check it out. I recommend it for something cheap and easy to do!
Oh, and on our walk home from the tram we encountered a couple of cute possums walking on the phone lines above us. I think this is Tim’s first wild native Australian animal sighting, except for the bogan who asked him for directions on New Years Eve…
