Sun Dial Cottesloe Beach (built 1988)

A brighter day today, we drove to Cottesloe for some fresh sea air, which did Glyn the world of good for his cold that is hanging on, maybe its man flu? 

The Sundials equatorial form is derived from the sundials in Jaipur, India, created by the Maharaja dei Singh in the 18th century. The two engraved dials (shadow plates) allow an accurate reading of the time to be taken throughout the year.They are separated by a narrow walkway and are constructed of limestone blocks capped with pre-cast concrete to give a sharp shadow line.
Unlike the Jaipur sundial, the shadow plates on the Cottesloe Sundial are engraved with equation of time curves. These curves accommodate the 4 degree and 17 second difference in longitude between the sundial at Cottesloe Beach and the meridian of West Australian Standard Time at Kalgoorlie. They convert apparent solar time to Western Solar Time.
