Praying in Wollongong
At 34.4 degrees south, Wollongong has a December fast of 16h 14m on 20 December and a June fast of 11h 21m on 18 June, nearly five hours shorter. A fast here is measured from Fajr to Maghrib, so both an early dawn and a late sunset lengthen the December figure.
Fajr runs from 3:53 AM on 6 December to 5:46 AM on 2 April, and Isha reaches 9:50 PM on 1 January. Ramadan falls in February and March, so the whole month is expected to fall within daylight saving time, which ends on 4 April.

How early does Fajr get in Wollongong?
The earliest Fajr is 3:53 AM on 6 December, fourteen days before the longest fast, 16h 14m on 20 December. The longest fast depends on sunset as well, so the two peaks fall on different dates.
