About the time in Darwin
Sunrise today lands at 06:56 and sunset at 06:42 local time, giving 11h 46m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-12.40, 130.88) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Darwin.
Around 81,670 people live in Darwin, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Clocks in Darwin stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +9:30 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Australia.
