Two sundials in the Botanical Gardens, Christchurch In the Rose Gardens
In the herbaceous border
Sundial at Wanaka, South Island
Sundial at the Top House Hotel near St. Arnaud, South Island
Sundial at Richmond, South Island
The sundial is in a small public garden on the main street of Richmond, one block from the shopping centre	The slit in the cylindical gnomon is a very interesting feature. The gnomon can be rotated with a wheel at its base, and that produces a line of light to give the exact time on the dialplate
There is a very good explanation of the Equation of Time and the difference between sun time and watch time	and a long list of the organisations who contributed to this very interesting sundial project
Sundial at Picton, South Island
	The sundial outside Picton church with the touching motto Be as true to each other As the dial is to the sun Picton is at the head of the very long Queen Charlotte Sound, and has the Inter-Islander ferry which connects with Wellington in the North Island
Sundial at Waitangi, Bay of Islands
The sundial commemorating the visit of the Queen to waitangi in 1953
Sundial at Flagstaff Hill, Russell, Bay of Islands
The sundial is at the top of Flagstaff Hill, which is well signposted. From the flagstaff, walk down to the car park and continue on the path on the other side of the car park	The sundial was built to celebrate the centenary of the NZ Institute of Surveyors in 1988
The dialplate is a mosaic map of the Bay of Islands shown in more detail below
This section shows Pahaia at the foot of the picture, and the Russell peninsula at top right	The shadow line is very clear (left) though the splayed gnomon (above) means that it will not show the time accurately for an hour or so either side of noon
	and there is a stunning view over the Bay of Islands
