Online alarm clock for 8:31 pm
While you watch the time for The Ghan’s arrival at Alice Springs station, an alarm set for 8:31 pm gives you a clear cue for the moment you need to be ready. That leaves the rest of the evening easy to follow without repeatedly checking the clock, while 9:00 pm remains a useful reference point for anything planned after the train arrives.
Keeping this alarm reliable depends on leaving the browser running until 8:31 pm. If you close the tab or browser, or your device goes to sleep, the alert may not sound and you could miss the train’s arrival. Keep the alarm page open and the device awake, with the volume set high enough for your surroundings. A quick glance at the displayed time can confirm that the alarm is still active while you wait.
Waiting outside near the station can feel different after sunset depending on the evening humidity and how the air is moving. Check the current conditions before settling in, then choose a spot with some airflow if the air feels still. Keep a light layer handy as well: the outdoor temperature can shift while you are waiting, even when the earlier part of the day felt warm.
Common questions
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
