The clock itself has remained operational all year.
The Brisbane City Hall clock was built in the late 1920s and was described in a brochure as the “most modern and complete electrical time-keeping system in Australia”.
It is the largest clock face in Australia – with a diameter about three centimetres wider than the Central Railway Station clock in Sydney – at the 56th biggest in the world.
The City Hall clock is one of Brisbane’s most well-known landmarks. It plays a key role in Trent Dalton’s book and Netflix series Boy Swallows Universe.
