Sydney runs 9 hours ahead of Wales at the moment. If you are arranging a call from Cardiff, Swansea or Newport, a 12:00 start here lands at 21:00 in Sydney. Because Sydney also changes its clocks, this gap is not fixed, it shifts by an hour for a few weeks each spring and autumn when the two countries switch on different dates.
