What or where is that? And the dismantling? Please explain. You can't leave us hanging like that.

Granny, it would be the large Ferris wheel that was constructed in the Docklands, Melbourne. Ran for a while then had a run of hot weather and it developed cracks, back to the drawing board, they are reassembling it now, can't be too far off completion..
For more info Google or Bing (Southern Star Observation Wheel).

Hi CG - That photo was taken on New Years Day & it was that hot.. The next 3 days were even hotter & then we got a cooler day & someone noticed that the welds were cracking. The ride consisted of one turn of the wheel. Because it revolves that slowly, people can get on & off easly & even wheel chairs. They are now starting to rebuild the framework.. When in Melbourne it will be worth going on, great views - even better than when first opened.....

Don't know whether I'd get back on it after that - remodelled or not.
Wheel before it was dismantled
