Possibly the Sundial at Torquay beach?

It certainly is. Your turn now.

On this driving holiday we actually visited 2, the 1 in Torquay and 1 in Kingston SE, South Aus. These photos are the instructions in Kingston SE.

Ditto.

 

Also if you like barramundi check where it comes from. It's not always Australian.

Much of the Barrumundi sold here in supermarkets, restaurants comes from Asia, guaranteed.

You even get it on cruise ships as Asian sea bass, although sometimes they omit the Asian bit. I had some on Celebrity Solstice last year. One of our tablemates was very annoyed with his, he expected Chilean sea bass which is quite different in texture.

And the Chilean sea bass is more expensive, even for the cruise lines.  I know several restaurants down here get the frozen Asian barramundi from Aldi and Woollies for $20  kg pack, they wont pay $60  kg for Aussie Barra from the sea food markets. So they sell a 250kg chunk of asian barra for $30, big mark up up, albeit with chips and salad on the plate.

Its certainly an impressive sun dial.

 

Please name this location.

The Naval ship was on sea trials after having been built in the large shed on the left.

You won’t find Barramundi in this river, however salmon and brown trout may be caught.

Just don’t get caught up with racing Gigs.

Hong Kong - Tai O,

Not sure what that is, looks like dried beef but they make fish and shrimp paste as well as much varieties of dried fish and seafood.

Correct, it is the shrimp/fish paste drying - you can see it (and smell it) on the walk out to The Lookout hotel out on the point.
