About the time in Sydney
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Sydney day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 22:00–06:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:22 and sunset at 07:02 local time, giving 12h 41m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-33.87, 151.21) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sydney.
Sydney sits at latitude -33.87, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 41m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
