Questions People Ask
Will the displayed sunset time jump when Canberra changes its clocks?
Yes on the civil clock. The solar event changes continuously, while the printed clock label moves when the time zone changes offset.
Can I use one sunset time for all of Australia?
No. The country spans multiple civil time zones and the solar event also changes with coordinates, so use the city page for the place you are in.
