uhh with the first one it should prolly have BOTH with the ºS as 32 or 33.
Based on that angular distance is 105. 15º = 1 hour time difference, and 105/15 = 7 so time difference is 7 hours. (Cape town is 7 hours behind Perth). So, it will arrive Cape Town 11 pm Wednesday Perth time, which is 4pm Wednesday Cape Town time.
