Default Sunbdails


I am aware that I must get a sundail that is made for my location
which is. -33°45'34" (St Marys NSW)


They made one on Ground Force (Ch.7) this week. They appeared to use a
small concrete paver, engraved the radii and circle somehow (while I was
elsewhere channel surfing), then glued in a brass triangle and sat it on
top of a gaudy plinth. I don't know whether its purpose is functional or
merely decorative.

That sundial would have only been decorative. Unless of course you happen
to
live at -45°

I can't remember if they made a comment that it must also be pointed true
north.......
