About the time in Canberra
Canberra is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +11 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 4 April 2027, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
Around 367,752 people live in Canberra, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Canberra sits at latitude -35.28, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 43m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
