Praying in Blacktown
Blacktown's shortest fast, 11h 23m, falls on 22 June, the date of the June solstice in Sydney. The longest, 16h 09m on 20 December, is nearly five hours more. Near midwinter the Fajr-to-Maghrib day changes by seconds from one date to the next, so the minimum could as easily have fallen a day either side.
Fajr is earliest on 6 December at 3:56 AM and latest on 3 April at 5:47 AM, the morning before the clocks go back. Ramadan is expected around 8 February to 8 March, starting with a fast of 15h 04m, already an hour short of the year's longest.

Frequently asked questions
Which Asr time does Blacktown use?
This page highlights Standard Asr, which starts once a shadow equals an object's length plus its noon shadow. The Hanafi school counts twice the length, which gives a later time. Use the toggle above the timetable, and follow your own school or mosque.
When is Fajr earliest in Blacktown?
Fajr is at its earliest on 6 December, at 3:56 AM, two weeks before the longest fast on 20 December. By 3 April it has moved to 5:47 AM, nearly two hours later.
How late does Isha get in Blacktown?
The latest Isha is 9:47 PM on 1 January, and the earliest is 6:18 PM on 6 June. That puts the night prayer nearly three and a half hours later in midsummer than in early winter.
Why is Blacktown's longest fast on 20 December and not on the solstice?
The December solstice falls on 22 December in Sydney time, but the longest fast, 16h 09m, comes two days earlier, on 20 December. Around the solstice the fast changes by seconds from one day to the next, so the exact peak depends on where Fajr and Maghrib each fall.
