In 1987 some waterfront was developed in Brisbane for restaurants, and small offices. Part of the development included a reasonable sized lookout tower (now bolted shut) and an unusual water clock.
I remember seeing this operating in the early 90s on a visit, and it was impressive. I can't remember exactly how it worked, but those two vertical tubes are marked with times, and I think water was pumped to the top, and at the hour, a BIG bucket thing came out on rails along the red cantilevered ramp, and then the bucket was overturned and it all came splashing down inot the pond at the bottom, to start again.
Depending on the wind, and how close you wanted to see the action, it was touch and go whether you ended up being involved in a wet T-shirt competition or not.
If only I had a photo, or if only I could find it.
Well, sadly the complex was not a roarinf success, and that might be partly because of its position with respect to road access. I am not sure, but today, some of the building is still used, but much of it seems lifeless, and the water clock is looking rather sad, with broken clock faces, all shuttered up and fenced off, and pidgeons roosting in the top.

Whittlesey (historically known as Whittlesea or Witesie) is an ancient Fenland market town.
Whittlesey appears in the Cartularium Saxonicum (973 A.D.) as Witlesig, in the Domesday Book as Witesie, and in the Inquisitio Eliensis[2] (1086 A.D.) as Wittleseia. The meaning is "Wit(t)el’s island", deriving from either Witil, "the name of a moneyer", or a diminutive of Witta, a personal name; + "eg", meaning "'island', also used of a piece of firm land in a fen."
Before the draining of the fens, Whittlesey was an island of dry ground surrounded by the marshy fens. Excavations of nearby Flag Fen indicate thriving local settlements as far back as 1000 BC. At Must Farm quarry, a Bronze Age settlement is described as 'Britain's Pompeii' due to its relatively good condition
