The Beachouse Ferris Wheel

Opened on Saturday December 6th, this is an Australian first; a single arm ferris wheel. Glenelg has waited two years longer than planned for this to eventuate, and the almost $1.8 million cost of building it was over budget. Unlike other traditional ferris wheels you get a continuous ride; people board and disembark while it moves.

Very attractive Ferris Wheel! I envy you your summer weather down there. Up here it is all snow. But it makes for a nice Christmas. I hope yours is a happy one and that you have a Good New Year!

Looks like a great ride! Appears to work similar to a ski lift tram...without the snow. You can have some of our snow btw. We have plenty. Fun to see life down under.
