Melbourne Star

Joining the London Eye and Singapore Flyer, this giant observation wheel has glass cabins that take you up 120m for 360-degree views of the city, Port Phillip Bay and even further afield to Geelong and the Dandenongs. Rides last 30 minutes. For an extra $10 you can head back for another ride at night to see the bright lights of the city.
