The Kohukohu Sundial


If you've ever been to Kohukohu you might be wondering about this scene with a sundial to the left and brick structures to the right overlooking the wharf. Apparently theses are the remains of buildings destroyed by a fire in 1967 which included the Andrewes store, a solicitor's office, a dentist's rooms, the Bank of New South Wales and it's residence - only the strong room (safe) remains.


The sundial below was made by Jack Davidson which tops an old petrol pump that use to be used by the community.

What happened in 1967 that the shops, professional offices and banks were all destroyed by a fire? The waterfront view is now terrific, but I hope the fire wasn't intentional. It would have been a real pleasure to work in offices facing the wharf, boats and water.

Sounds like a big fire. My dad was a volunteer firefighter for 25 years, he was also afraid of heights, so climbing that ladder was never much fun for him. Great sundial here.
