Each date is the civil day whose sunrise in Melbourne falls inside the Amavasya tithi (Moon–Sun elongation 348°→0°/360°), computed with Skyfield + JPL DE421 for -37.814°, 144.9633° (Australia/Melbourne). Kshaya dates (no sunrise in tithi) are attached to the preceding sunrise.

Do Amavasya dates in Melbourne differ from pan-India lists?
They can. Because the ruling sunrise depends on longitude, latitude and timezone (Australia/Melbourne), a tithi ending just before local sunrise in Melbourne may still span sunrise in Delhi — shifting the civil date by a day. This page lists the hyper-local dates for Melbourne, not a generic India table.
