Six in the evening is dinner time for a large share of Australian households, and it's also the point where the working day has properly ended for most people, replaced by the commute home or the start of an evening routine. This page tracks the exact time remaining until the next 6 pm.
How light or dark it is at 6 pm varies enormously by season here — in summer, particularly with daylight saving in the states that observe it, the sun can still be well up and outdoor evening plans are entirely realistic; in winter it's usually already dark, especially in the southern states.
This countdown is commonly used to time dinner plans, an evening commute, or simply to gauge exactly how much daylight is left on a given evening, depending on the season.
