Golden and blue hour in Perth: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Perth (-31.9505, 115.8605) and the Australia/Perth timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 32 minutes in March and 37 in June — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 07:53 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 07:16.
After sunset, Perth still offers the blue hour: from 17:37 to 17:47 in June (10 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.
Frequently asked
When is golden hour in Perth today?
Pick today's date in the calculator above — it computes the times for Perth from the coordinates, DST included. As a bearing: in mid-June it starts at 16:43, in mid-December at 18:43.
How long does golden hour last in Perth?
Between 32 minutes (March) and 37 minutes (June) in the evening. The name misleads — it never actually reaches a full hour here.
How accurate are the times?
To about one minute (standard NOAA-style solar computation). Not included: horizon shading from buildings or hills to the west — which can genuinely shorten the window at your location.
