Giant Sky Wheel!!

When I got to Melbourne, I noticed something new on the banks of the Yarra.

It's the Giant Sky Wheel, the largest movable ferris wheel in the Southern hemisphere!! Woo hoo!!!

Every time I see this thing at night, I am mesmerized by all the 300,000 LED light glory! It's hypnotic, I will stand and watch it for minutes on end. The light patterns change enough to make it interesting, and yet somewhat relaxing and comforting.

Of course I had to film it. I think the best bits are at 1:00 and around 2:20. But I like to just watch the whole film and think happy thoughts.



I decided that it would be best to ride the Giant Sky Wheel during the day, in order to get the best views of the city, and it totally paid off.



It turns out that the GSW leaves town on the same day I do! That would be kind of cool to be on the same plane as the Giant Sky Wheel. Although, I wouldn't want to sit next to it. Sure, it would have some interesting stories, but, dude, you know I'd never get that armrest.
