Analemmatic Sundial

This is a great sundail in my home town of North Richmond NSW.

It represents the analema of the sun seen from this location over the corse of a year.

33deg 34' 57"S - 150deg 43' 28" N.

Sundials are cool at the best of times but this one rings home to astronomers I think.

Just stand on the current date, place your hand straight up and read the AEST via your shadow.

Simple.
