I suppose you could call the Sundial of Human Involvement the original interactive experience using nothing but ancient technology - no headphones, goggles or electricity required! Magnificent panoramas await after a steep climb from the parking. Even Sisyphus would take a break from rock chasing to admire the view. On a clear day you can see Sydney skyscrapers and the Harbour Bridge. A fun place to meditate on the cosmos..... 🙏🌏🌞🌊🌸🦋😊

Small but great fun. The one in Singleton is much bigger and more precise. Still a greta experience to get there and feel accomplished.

Love how it's been well-maintained and incorporated into the garden's events and tours. The surrounding area is perfect for a picnic or a relaxing stroll. A must-see attraction in the garden! Don't miss it!

This is a very interesting sundial. It requires the user of the Sundial to stand in a particular spot in order to show the current time. This is explained on a brass plate adjacent to the sundial. A more 'traditional' sundial is also located adjacent to the Sundial of Human Involvement. The location of the Sundial offers magnificent views across Campbelltown and a wonderful vista of the Mount Annan Australian Botanic Gardens, where the Sundial is located. It is possible to drive close to this location, and then take a short uphill walk to the Sundial. A memorial bench is located adjacent to the Sundial if you need to take a rest after walking up to the Sundial. Another memorial nearby is dedicated to a young apprentice horticulturalist who died before they completed their apprenticeship with the Botanic Gardens. If you are visiting the Australian Botanic Gardens, this Sundial is one of the locations within the Gardens that you definitely must visit.
