Plenty of outdoor jobs pause through the hottest part of the day and pick back up once the sun eases off in the afternoon, with the return time often set to a fairly specific point. If that point is 12:36 pm, this page tracks the exact wait, updating in real time rather than leaving it to a rough guess.
The numbers shown here run on your own device's clock, checking the time continuously and recalculating the gap to 12:36 pm every second. There is nothing to press and nothing to configure — the countdown is already running the moment the page finishes loading, and it keeps updating for as long as you are looking at it.
Public transport timetables in Australia are almost always printed in 24-hour time, which is exactly why 12:36 is worth having on hand even if 12:36 pm is the version that comes to mind first. Matching the two formats against each other takes the guesswork out of reading a printed timetable correctly.
Common questions
Is anything installed on my device to run this?
No. Nothing downloads or installs — the countdown runs entirely within the page in your browser, and closing it removes it completely with nothing left behind.
Why does the number change slightly every time I check?
Because it is a live countdown rather than a fixed figure, it updates every second, so the exact hours, minutes, and seconds remaining will always be a little lower than the last time you looked.
Can I use this to time something happening tomorrow instead of today?
The countdown always points to the next time that moment occurs, so if it has already passed for today, it is already counting down to tomorrow's occurrence without any adjustment needed.
Does daylight saving affect the countdown?
Yes, because it reads from your device's own clock, any daylight saving change your device applies automatically is reflected in the countdown without any extra step on your part.
