About the sun in Bathurst
In Bathurst, the longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 14h 22m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 June, with 9h 56m: a difference of 4 hours 26 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 3 October (5:37 AM) and the latest sunset on 7 January (8:15 PM). These dates do not fall on the solstice because Earth's orbit is elliptical and its axis is tilted, so solar noon drifts through the year. Bathurst lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 80.0° above the horizon, on 22 December.
