The next full moon visible in Australia occurs on November 6, 2025, though exact peak times vary by city. In many Australian sources, the November full moon is also called the Beaver Moon and is noted as one of the nearby supermoons, with peak illumination around the early hours of November 6 local time in AEDT. For Sydney, Melbourne, and most eastern Australia observers, you’ll typically see the full moon rise in the early evening of November 5 and be highest around 12:15–12:30 AM local time on November 6. For other Australian cities, slight time shifts occur due to time zone differences, but the date remains November 6 in local calendar terms. Key details to know:
- Name: Beaver Moon (popular name for the November full moon)
- Peak: roughly around the night of November 5–6, 2025, depending on location
- Visibility: near-perigee supermoon status, so it appears larger and brighter than average
- Best viewing: after sunset on November 5 and continuing into the late evening of November 5 into the early hours of November 6
Tips for observing:
- Find a dark location away from city lights for the best contrast
- Look for the moonrise times in your city’s local news or astronomical calendars a day or two around the date
- If you’re near coastal NSW or Victoria, the moonrise will often occur soon after sunset, making for a dramatic early-evening sight
If you’d like, specify your Australian city, and the exact local time and viewing window for November 5–6, 2025, can be refined.
