Good to know

Candles are lit 18 minutes before sunset, as Hebcal’s calendar gives it for Melbourne.
Havdalah, and the candles of a holiday’s second night, are at nightfall, when the Sun is 8.5° below the horizon and three small stars can be seen. Some communities wait longer, up to 72 minutes after sunset.
Outside Israel, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, Pesach and Shavuot are kept for two days, as here.
Sunset is worked out from NOAA’s solar equations for 37.8° S, 145° E, at sea level; hills and buildings change what you see by a minute or two.
Your synagogue’s calendar may differ; follow it.
