Summer and winter prayer times in New South Wales
Prayer times in New South Wales vary a lot between the seasons. Around the december solstice (21 December) Fajr is at about 3:56 AM and Maghrib at 8:05 PM, giving a day of 14 h 25 min. Around the june solstice (21 June) Fajr moves to 5:30 AM and Maghrib to 4:54 PM, and the day is just 9 h 54 min. That is a difference of 4 h 31 min between the longest and the shortest day, and it explains why the adhan moves noticeably from month to month.
