Timekeeping in Parliament House
Interesting and geeky fact about the clocks in Australia’s Parliament House: they’re all at exactly the same time, and they all tick at exactly the same time.
There are over 2,500 analogue clocks in the building apparently, so it doesn’t matter where you stand you can almost always see a clock - usually two or three.
It sounds so corny, but it really does feel like the building has a heartbeat when you find a quiet spot, and all those clocks are loudly ticking together.
