Water Tower Clock

While now prominently located in the forecourt at the main entrance to Southern Cross Station, this Clock is the last existing relic from the original Flinders Street Station, which predates the current station there. Built in 1882, it was Melbourne's first landmark clock and is thus significantly important to Melbourne's early history. I believe it was called the Water Tower Clock simply because it was close to a water tower near the original station. The name certainly stuck as in 1910 the clock was moved with its then name to Spencer Street Station, today called Southern Cross Station, and I love the way this heritage piece has been beautifully restored and in February 2014 wound its way back into the new state-of-the-art Southern Cross Station.

Well, takes you 1 minute. It is just a nice tower watch
