How this city keeps time

Sri Venkateswara Temple at Helensburgh and Sydney Murugan at Mays Hill already run on Australian civil time. Because Sydney sits 4.5–5.5 hours ahead of IST, an Ekadashi that is 'tomorrow morning' in Delhi can already be today's sunrise here. Festival flyers that quote only the India date miss the vrat for families in the Hills Shire.

AEDT (UTC+11) from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April; AEST (UTC+10) in winter. Helensburgh sunrise is not Melbourne's.
