Telling the Time by the Sun – An Enlightening Afternoon (SOLD OUT)

Using the apparent movement of the sun to mark the passage of time goes back to antiquity. Before clocks were invented, sundials were used to record the time of day.  Now they are mostly ornamental but can be amazingly accurate.  Dr Marg Folkard (Sundials Australia) will tell us about sundials and we will visit two she has made, one in the ANBG, and after afternoon tea, one at Mt Stromlo.  

A joint event of the Australian Garden History Society and the Friends of the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Tickets $25 (plus 50 cents booking fee) including refreshments
