Hornsby, water clock

"Man, Time and the Environment", also known as the Hornsby Water Clock is a fusion of kinetic sculpture, decorative fountain, musical instrument and a functional clock. It is located in Hornsby Mall, a pedestrian mall in Florence Street, in the northern suburb of Hornsby. This work, unveiled in 1993, was created by Australian sculptor Victor Cusack from cast bronze, stainless steel, and toughened plate glass. It features sculpted forms of the fauna of Hornsby Shire from a rainbow lorikeet, to a cormorant, blue tongue lizard, fruit bat and possum.
