Melbourne’s latest attraction, the Southern Star observation wheel, has reportedly buckled and cracked during the heatwave that is gripping the city. According to a Sydney Morning Herald report, Chairman Fred Maybury said that the wheel would be closed indefinitely.
“Until I get that report I can’t answer the question,” he was reported saying when asked when the wheel would reopen.
Maybury added that the company had sought international advice on how to fix the wheel and why it had succumbed to the excessive heat.
