About the sun in Mount Gambier
In Mount Gambier, the longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 14h 47m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 June, with 9h 32m: a difference of 5 hours 15 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 8 December (5:38 AM) and the latest sunset on 5 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. Mount Gambier lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 75.6° above the horizon, on 22 December.
