I find a picture and the following text concerning a sundial in Gisborne (New Zealand) 'the first city to see the light', planned on the occasion of millennium 2000. The Guinness Book of Records recognises the worlds largest sundial as situated at Jaipur in India. Built in 1724, the Samrat Yantra sundial is 36 metres high with a gnomon length of 27 metres. A preliminary concept design of the sundial structure for Gisborne has been prepared in conjunction with Opus International Consultants Ltd and a local design team consisting of Marcus Smiler, Derek Lardelli, Sandy Adsett, and Phil Parker. The structure will be 45 metres high (equivalent to a 13-storey building) with a gnomon length of 68 metres.
