Prayer times by region in Australia
Our pages in Australia are organised in 8 regions. Open your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes from one place to the next, east to west and north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Australia
Times for Australia use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in the local time of each city (UTC+9:30, UTC+10:30 in summer; UTC+8; UTC+10; UTC+9:30; UTC+10, UTC+11 in summer). In the capital Canberra, Fajr is around 3:57 AM and Maghrib 8:17 PM around 21 December, whereas around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:41 AM and Maghrib at 4:58 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 47 min to 14 h 32 min.
Our cities in Australia stretch from Geraldton in the west to Gold Coast in the east, and from Darwin in the north to Hobart in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Gold Coast about 155 minutes before Geraldton, which is one reason the country uses several time zones. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Canberra is no substitute for that of your own city.
