On the above
picture you can see the clock of the Town Hall of Adelaide. The
Town hall of Adelaide is considered as the largest municipal
building south of the Equator. The Town hall was officially
opened in June 1866. When the Tower of the Town Hall was built
circular holes were left open. It was hoped at that time that
the citizens of Adelaide would donate a clock to the Town Hall.
But it was only in 1935, that a former Lord Mayor, Sir Lavington
Bonython donated a clock to the Town Hall. Sir Bonython
explained that his donation of the clock to the Town Hall was as
he did not wear a watch it was a good way of telling the time.
The Bonython’s clock faced north, south and west. |
