Show Notes
On the eve of daylight savings end in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT, horologist Andrew Markerink manually winds back the clock at Sydneys Town Hall clocktower. This annual ritual, performed for fifteen years, involves unscrewing fasteners to release century-old English gears and rods that turn the faces outside. Markerink, who comes from a lineage of eighteenth-century clockmakers, ensures the mechanisms accuracy for another thousand years. After Town Hall, his team visits seven more locations to adjust the clocks. As Australia says goodbye to summer, this old-school ritual keeps the citys pulse steady.
