Wheel of Brisbane

The Wheel of Brisbane is a 60-metre observation wheel in the Cultural Forecourt at the northern end of South Bank Parklands, put up in 2008 for the 20th anniversary of World Expo 88. Its 42 enclosed, air-conditioned gondolas make a ride of about 12 minutes, with views over the Brisbane River and the city centre.
