Canberra: Canberra is the capital city of Australia and the largest population centre in the Australian Capital Territory. Canberra was established following the federation of the Australian colonies to serve as the seat of government for the new nation, and was a compromise between Melbourne and Sydney, Australia’s two largest cities. Today, Canberra is Australia's largest inland city, and the eighth-largest Australian city by population. The city occupies most of the northern quadrant of the Australian Capital Territory, and its urban sprawl borders the state of New South Wales to the northwest, northeast and southeast. The Brindabellas are located south and west of the city, and form the northern part of the Australian Alps, the country's highest mountain range. As of June 2025, Canberra's estimated population was 484,630.
Observes daylight saving time. Civil clocks shift forward by one hour during the local summer, swinging between standard UTC+10:00 and summer UTC+11:00. Transitions follow the IANA zone Australia/Sydney.
Canberra is listed in the dataset snapshot as 10 hours ahead of UTC (offset +10:00). 9 hours ahead of London, 1 hour ahead of Tokyo.
Canberra sits at 35.28°S in the southern hemisphere — daylight runs roughly 9 hours 37 minutes on the December solstice and about 14 hours 23 minutes on the June solstice.
Canberra sits at 35.28°S in the southern hemisphere — daylight runs roughly 9 hours 37 minutes on the December solstice and about 14 hours 23 minutes on the June solstice.
