    Peter -

    Thanks for that!   Making one of these for my yard is on my "to-do" list.   Lord knows when I'll get to it, but I've seen a bunch of online instructions and designs.

    With this sundial, at Mount Annan Botanic Gardens on the southwestern fringes of Sydney (has a good collection of Eucalypts) the user's body, placed on the central analemma at the appropriate date, casts a shadow towards or between the hour stones which indicates the time.

    If you're a bit short the shadow might not quite make the stones, but the instructions helpfully include the advice that in such a case to extend one's arms above one's head, which I noted also produces a sharper pointer than one's head.
