About the sun in Gawler
In Gawler, the longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 14h 29m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 June, with 9h 50m: a difference of 4 hours 39 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 3 October (5:50 AM) and the latest sunset on 7 January (8:32 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. Gawler lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 78.8° above the horizon, on 22 December.
