"—" means the Moon does not rise or set on that calendar date. Times use the local clock in force on each date, so daylight-saving changes appear where they happen.
New South Wales uses daylight saving from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April. On those weekends moonrise jumps an hour on the clock; this page shows the time in force on each date. Times assume a flat horizon at the city reference, 33.87° S, 151.21° E; buildings and ridges delay what you actually see.
