About the time in Newcastle
Around 508,437 people live in Newcastle, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:24 and sunset at 05:27 local time, giving 11h 03m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-32.93, 151.78) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Newcastle.
Newcastle runs on Australia/Sydney, which puts the city UTC +10 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
