Prayer times in New Town — common questions
What time is Fajr in New Town today?
Fajr in New Town begins at 05:42 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.
Which direction is the Qibla from New Town?
From New Town, the Qibla is 275.0° from true north — roughly W. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.
Which calculation method is used for New Town?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Australia. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.
Do prayer times in New Town change much between seasons?
Considerably. With a 6.3-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in New Town, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
How far is New Town from Makkah?
New Town lies approximately 13006 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
