The rise and set times are correct for Perth, Western Australia.
Time Corrections Beyond Perth, WA
These times will be adequate for general purpose use in the Perth metropolitan
area. However, corrections (of up to 100 minutes) must be applied for
other locations in Western Australia. These time corrections can be
found in the Observatory's Annual
Almanac, or the Observatory can
be engaged for your specialised
astronomical consultancy.
Furthermore, the Observatory can be engaged to
provide a
specialised
astronomical consultancy in order
to calculate rise and set times for your specific location world-wide.
Notes for Moon Rise and Set Times
The Moon rise and set data need some care in their interpretation. Some entries have a p prefix which means that the data
refers to the previous day, and an f prefix means that the data refers to the following day. This complicated system arises
because of the dramatically changing
times of Moon rise and set and the fact that on some days the Moon either doesn't rise or set!

The Moon phases presented here are correct for Western Australia.
Note: A given Moon phase occurs at a specific moment in time. However, the
existence of different time zones can mean the date on which the phase
occurs may vary by one day, across Australia, as well as across the world.
The Observatory can be engaged to provide a
specialised
astronomical consultancy in order to calculate Moon phases for your specific
location world-wide.
Times
In general, WAST - Western Australian Standard Time is used in these tables. However, between December 2006
until March 2009, daylight saving times are quoted in the tables, as appropriate. This was the result of the imposition of
a daylight saving trial by the State Government. For the duration of daylight saving one hour is added to WAST in order to
calculate the daylight saving time for these phenomena.
Here is a link to the Bill detailing this trial (pdf 31KB).
Tides
The tides are related to the phase of the Moon. Tidal information for
Western Australia is available from the
Coastal Data, Tides and Waves
Branch of the Department of Planning and Infrastructure.
