The Clock Tower, now a familiar landmark, was built in 1923 as a war memorial to commemorate the local people who had given their lives in the 1914-18 War.

This clock tower is actually for a building across the PCH that you can see from Surfrider Beach in Malibu. The time is the correct time.

Kings Park, Perth, Western Australia.
Located near the Western Australian Botanic Garden entrance, the floral clock features Australian plants as roman numerals and is surrounded by a range of Western Australian native plants. In spring the clock and surrounding beds burst into colour with a spectacular sample of the botanic garden's most colourful annual and perennial blooms.
Originally unveiled in 1962, Kings Park's beloved Floral Clock was built because of a bequest from Western Australian pastoralist Mr F Wittenoom.
Over the years, the blooming timepiece has been relocated and updated from its initial incarnation in a traditional cuckoo clock style and Swiss Chalet outside the former tearooms, to its present design opposite the entry to the Western Australian Botanic Garden.
In 2022, the clock was given a modern makeover debuting new aluminium hands decorated with work from Western Australian artist Emma Blyth. The custom-made artwork features banksias, red-tailed black cockatoos, and Western Australia’s floral emblem - the red and green kangaroo paw - capturing the natural beauty of local flora and fauna.
