The Southern Star Observation Wheel is one of the most exciting new tourism projects planned for Melbourne – a stunning addition to the landscape that will boast some of the most spectacular views over the City, Port Phillip Bay and beyond.   The Southern Star Observation Wheel is Australia’s first and only observation wheel.  Located at Waterfront City in Docklands, the 120 metre Wheel will become a Melbourne icon and mark a new gateway to Melbourne when it launches.   The Wheel features 21 enclosed air-conditioned glass cabins that will showcase views stretching as far as Geelong.  Its unique state-of-the-art structure will feature a world-first 3.7km LED lighting system providing stunning ever-changing displays at night.   The Southern Star Observation Wheel is due for completion in 2008.   For more information on The Southern Star  visit www.thesouthernstar.com.au (you need a Flash Player to view) For the latest images and live webcam to the Southern Star click HERE.
