How Blue Mountains's prayer times are worked out

From Blue Mountains, the Qibla is 278° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 13,153 km (8,173 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Blue Mountains's own coordinates (33.71°S, 150.33°E), not a national average. That is why Blue Mountains's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Blue Mountains timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Blue Mountains lies well west inside its Sydney time zone. So the sun peaks about 67 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:57 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 08m near December down to 11h 24m in June.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Blue Mountains 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 Sydney, Pittwater and Wollongong. Each is only a few minutes off Blue Mountains's clock.
