Ferris Wheel Travel: Now Sydney Wants One Too

No sooner did we say Melbourne's better than Sydney and Melbourne's getting a Ferris wheel than we discover that Sydney wants to have one, too.

The proposal for a 45-meter-high Ferris wheel is on the desk of the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority now, and if approved it will be sitting on Circular Quay shortly.

The big difference is that for some reason, the organizers just want this Sydney Ferris wheel to be temporary--after January 2009 it will (apparently) disappear. That's a pity, because although we love Melbourne, we do admit that the views looking over Sydney are better. Not that we're weighing into the Melbourne versus Sydney argument again.
