Best overlap: 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Dallas is 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Sydney.
For a call that suits both sides, look at 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Dallas / 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Sydney. Since Sydney is 15 hours ahead of Dallas, the overlap is narrow (about 1 hour); a single, well-protected slot beats hunting for time each week. This window straddles two dates — Dallas's today is Sydney's the next day.
