Club president Colin Gelling said that the project was to celebrate one hundred years of Rotary in 2005 but more importantly to leave a lasting symbol and a real community benefit to the shire and the many thousand of visitors.

Oxley Hill is the chosen site for the lookout for the Sundial of Human Involvement including park benches and parking for cars.

The Sundial of Human Involvement is a rare type of sundial that uses a person's body to cast a shadow onto hour markers to tell the time. The position of the person is adjusted throughout the year following a figure eight pathway or analemma - so this sundial is known as an anaemmatic sundial.

As a part of the design, recognition will be also given to the original landowners of the district.

The designers of this unique sundial are Dr Margret Folkard and John Ward from Adelaide.

Other sundials of this type can be found at Mt Annan; the Cathedral of Brou near Bourg-en Bresse 370-km south east of Paris, France; the Great Exhibition Hall in Liverpool, England; Reinauen Central Park near Bonn, West Germany; and the Palace of Popes Avignon France.

This strategic location gives one a magnificent view overlooking Bowral and south to the to mount Gibraltar.

The club has initiated a works program of fund raising and material with Alan Cupitt heading up this group though much of the expertise we will be relying on will be from club member Chris Webb from Chris and Charlotte Webb land scape and design business.

Planned to be finished in the year 2005 to acknowledge 100 year of community service to the local community and indeed the world.

Mr Gelling said with more than 1.3 million Rotarians world wide and more than 30,000 clubs there will be a large number of infrastructure projects that will leave a mark for good to many communities in many countries.

"In a project of this size the club is calling on the voluntary expertise of many professional people," he said.
