Wollongong lies at 150.9°E. Its time zone, UTC+10, is built around the 150°E meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 11:56, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 56 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:56.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 14h 27m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 9h 51m. The swing between them is 4h 37m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Wollongong the sun comes up earliest on 3 October at 05:31, while the latest sunset waits until 7 January at 20:12. 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 Wollongong that civil twilight runs about 25 minutes at the equinox.
