About this audio guide
This guide to the Wheel of Brisbane in South Bank follows the ride from its start as the Sea World Wheel on the Gold Coast to its move to this riverbank in two thousand eight, and into the January two thousand eleven flood that sent the Brisbane River climbing toward its gondolas. It traces how a machine built to lift people above the water watched the water rise toward it instead. Listen for the wheel's forty-two air-conditioned gondolas as you look down at the river below.
