How Ballarat's prayer times are worked out

From Ballarat, the Qibla is 280° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 12,640 km (7,854 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ballarat's own coordinates (37.57°S, 143.85°E), not a national average. That is why Ballarat's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ballarat timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ballarat lies well west inside its Melbourne time zone. So the sun peaks about 93 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:23 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 40m near December down to 11h 08m in June.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ballarat come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Tarneit, Geelong and Werribee. Each is only a few minutes off Ballarat's clock.
