The grand clock, located on the
northern side of the Queen Victoria centre dome, is the world's largest
hanging animated turret clock. Taking four years to build and
costing more than $1.5 million dollars. The Great Australian Clock
was installed in June 2000. The clock chimes hourly at half past
the hour. |
Unveiled
in 1986, this remarkable and unique Royal Automated Clock chimes on the
hour between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily. |
