Miles JaklLocated at Red Hill in Deakin, the Red Hill Carousel Restaurant was designed by Miles Jakl in 1964, and later expanded by Enrico Taglietti.
Its unique 12-sided structure was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its architects, embodying the spirit of a time long gone.Despite its significance, the restaurant had undergone a period of closure and abandonment for several years. During this transitional state, the building came perilously close to a permanent state of abandonment, highlighting how quickly even iconic structures can fall into disuse.
