Sundial of Human Involvement (Torquay)
.jpg "Sundial of Human Involvement (Torquay)")
Picturesquely located on the foreshore land at Fishermans Beach at the corner of Darian Road and The Esplanade, the sundial was assembled in the traditional and time-honoured method of mosaic and comprises more than 120,000 glass Tesserae tiles. The sundial represents the traditional dreaming stories of the Indigenous Wathaurong people.
Your body becomes the 'dial' on this unique piece of art. Stand in the centre of the design and you can tell the time by the shadow cast by your body.
Review:
Well worth a stop so that the kids can have some fun finding out the time using an old fashioned method. Stunningly beautiful and interesting mosaic.
