Melbourne Sky Wheel

by liau on January 22, 2009

One of the attractions to see when visiting Melbourne is the Giant Skywheel. It is just along the Yarra River and is definitely a sight especially at night time. It flashes different colors and would be a great backdrop to a night portrait. Even without riding this structure, a mere stroll at the river side with this sight is already a great experience. BTW, quite recently, a much bigger ‘observation wheel’ called the Southern Star opened at Melbourne. With a height similar to a 40 storey building, it is definitely one of the freshest landmarks in the city.

Tagalog Translation:
Isa sa mga pasyalan sa Melbourne ay ang ‘Giant Skywheel’. Ito ay nasa tabi ng ilog Yarra at talagang napakagandang tanawin lalu na kung gabi. Ito ay may ilaw na nagpapa-bago-bagong kulay kaya maganda itong ‘backdrop’ sa isang larawan. Kahit hindi sumakay dito, ang paglalakad sa tabi ng ilog habang bungad ang ganitong tanawin ay isa nang magandang karanasan. Sya nga pala, kamakailan lamang ay may nagbukas na mas malaking ‘observation wheel’ na tinaguriang Southern Star sa Melbourne. Taglay ang taas ng 40 palapag na gusali, ito ay tiyak na isa sa mga bagong pasyalan sa syudad.

Hi Roselle.
Ang ganda - siguro maraming tao ang namamasyal diyan para makita lang ito. Uyy, Australian Open na pala - yung logo may kahel din, at ngayong araw, naka-kulay kahel na uniform ang mga ball boys and girls nila :)
