About The Big Wheel

A free waterfront landmark at the top of Wynyard Wharf in central Auckland. Its two eight-tonne cog wheels were preserved from the steam dredge Whakarire, so the place is a piece of the port's working history as well as a viewpoint.

From the top of the wharf there are wide views of the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the city skyline. It is an easy walk from the pier.

The landmark is at Wynyard Wharf, Auckland CBD. Our pick in the CBD for an easy harbour view with a bit of history.
