'The Human Sundial' is located in the north west corner of Sydney Park, a large recreational area in the inner city suburb of Alexandria. The 'figure of eight' is called an analemma, a diagram showing the position of the sun in the sky. If you stand on today's date and face the mancer stones with the sun behind you, the position of your shadow on the hour stones will tell you the Australian Eastern Standard Time. During Daylight Saving, from early October to late March, add an hour for Eastern Summer Time.
