On the shortest day of the year Elizabeth Bay House is precisely orientated so that as the sun rises, the central axis of the house is flooded with sunlight from the front door to an area of cliff face at the rear of the property. Watch this dramatic phenomenon unfold at a special breakfast and hear Andrew Jacob, Assistant Curator of Astronomy, Sydney Observatory, explain the science behind this spectacular natural display.
Includes refreshments
Ages 5+
