A Moment in Time

Brisbane Town Hall, Queensland, Australia

The 70m clock tower that rises 91 meters  above ground level, is based upon St Mark’s Campanile, in Venice Italy.

The four clock faces on each side of the tower are the largest in Australia.

Opened in 1930, the Brisbane Town Hall is currently undergoing major restoration work, so will remain closed to the public until 2012, when hopefully tours to the top of the clock tower will resume :)
