Melbourne's Stargate

There's a new park/playground in the heart of the Docklands and I must say it's quite amazing.It has the usual amenities you find in a playground but there's this structure that caught everyone's eyes..
..it's the big round thingy with colourful balls surrounding it. The balls will actually swing round the rim of the big circle when the wind blows on it so you can imagine how cool it looks.

Kinda reminds me of the Stargate where aliens from other worlds could travel to Earth and vice-versa. I was hoping to see them flying through the worm hole that forms from the big circle but no such luck today, it's just another statue, a nice one I might say.

If you like to watch the wheel turning in the wind, you can watch it here (3.12MB).
