While folk in the northern hemisphere are doing all they can to distract themselves from cold, dark, winter days, it is always cheering to remember that the southern hemisphere is heading for high summer. More than likely, Melbourne will be basking in sunshine when it gets to enjoy its own 'London Eye' on Friday November 28, 2008, the day which sees the opening of the
Southern Star giant Ferris wheel.
Towering to nearly 120m, the observation wheel is 100 metres in diameter and is expected to provide tourists with unprecedented views over the state of Victoria, Australia, possibly stretching as far as Geelong.
