The four windows people confuse
Three inauspicious, one auspicious. All four are eighths of today's solar arc in Perth.
Rahu Kaal
Rahu
07:17 – 08:53
The window to avoid beginning anything new — travel, signing, buying, a first meeting.
Yamaganda
Ketu
10:28 – 12:03
Also avoided for new beginnings, and routinely mistaken for Rahu Kaal.
Gulika Kaal
Saturn
13:38 – 15:13
Saturn's eighth. Traditionally avoided, though held to be the mildest of the three.
Abhijit Muhurat
Brahma
11:38 – 12:28
The opposite: the midday window held to be auspicious for almost anything.

When Perth's clocks change
Australia does not change its clocks, so the only thing that moves Rahu Kaal here is the Sun: sunrise in Perth is 07:18 at the June solstice and 05:09 at the December one, 129 minutes apart.
Why Perth needs its own figure
Across the year
In Perth, Rahu Kaal is shortest at 75 minutes and longest at 106 minutes across the year, a spread of 31 minutes set by this city's latitude.
Against the nearest city
Adelaide is 2131 km away, and today its Rahu Kaal runs 05:45–07:21 against Perth's 07:17–08:53. Sunrise differs, so the eighth differs. That gap is the reason this page is computed for Perth rather than for the region.

These windows come from the Sun and the weekday, so a whole city shares them. Whether a period is actually good for you depends on your own running dasha and the transits over your chart.
