The Second-Oldest Capital City in Australia

Hobart was founded in 1804, making it Australia's oldest capital city after Sydney, and holds around 90 buildings from the convict period. Its Salamanca warehouses date from the 1830s whaling trade.

Hobart lies at 147.3°E. Its time zone, UTC+10, is built around the 150°E meridian. The 2.7° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 11 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:11 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 71 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:11.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 15h 21m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 9h 1m. The swing between them is 6h 20m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Hobart the sun comes up earliest on 11 December at 05:26, while the latest sunset waits until 3 January at 20:52. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Hobart that civil twilight runs about 28 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 35 minutes at the solstice.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
