Melbourne Star Observation Wheel

Local nameMelbourne Star Observation Wheel
LocationDocklands, Victoria, Melbourne, Australia

The Melbourne Star is a 120 metre tall ferris wheel in the suburb of Docklands in Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia.

Described by its operators as an "observation wheel" and claimed to be "the Southern Hemisphere's only giant observation wheel", it is 120 m tall and has seven spokes, reflecting the seven-pointed star of the Australian flag.It opened two years behind schedule in December 2008, but closed 40 days later due to structural defects. The wheel itself was scrapped and replaced, but the original support structure and passenger cabins were retained. It was originally thought that reconstruction might be completed in late 2010, but repeated delays meant it did not reopen until 23 December 2013.
