Founded in Perth, Western Australia, the Honey Clock has travelled through time.

Settlers, early in the days of the initial habitation of the Perth region, established a trade route to the east, trading HONEY with other settlers along the coast.

The trade route became valuable and the price of honey rose. One rich merchant trader, knowing the value of honey, created a custom-made hourglass full of honey to assist in telling time aboard ship.

Opon arriving home, from a particularly long trade journey, the rich merchantman's wife claimed the Honey Clock as her own, claiming it the most splendid artifact the local Geographical Society had seen, for she was the president of the cities comission for Antiquities.

The Honey Clock was not destined to be housed in a historical museum, for only three days later the clock misteriously vanished, without a trace.

The Honey Clock again surfaced in Margaret River approximately 130 years later, when an old seaward mariner passed away, and his belongings revealed the stolen artifact.

Inscribed beneath the surface of the clock were these words.

"Never housed, a living treasure, together with the seasons moved. Given us the power of time, what once began as flower's due"
