Jquery display time for specific location


Using the code below I'm able to successfully display the local time on a site. I am using this on a site built on Zurb Foundation 3 - I would like to avoid loading additional plugins.

a) How do I make this always display the time in Sydney, rather than the time at the user's end? Is there a way to do this using the code below and not an entirely different script?

b)Plus, if it's an easy fix, how can I make it display which day of the week it is?

     function updateClock ( )

   

{
      var currentTime = new Date ( );
      var currentHours = currentTime.getHours ( );
      var currentMinutes = currentTime.getMinutes ( );
      var currentSeconds = currentTime.getSeconds ( );    



      // Pad the minutes and seconds with leading zeros, if required
       currentMinutes = ( currentMinutes < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + currentMinutes;
       currentSeconds = ( currentSeconds < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + currentSeconds;

          // Choose either "AM" or "PM" as appropriate
           var timeOfDay = ( currentHours < 12 ) ? "AM" : "PM"; 



         // Convert the hours component to 12-hour format if needed
           currentHours = ( currentHours > 12 ) ? currentHours - 12 : currentHours; 



      // Convert an hours component of "0" to "12"
           currentHours = ( currentHours == 0 ) ? 12 : currentHours;

          // Compose the string for display
           var currentTimeString = currentHours + ":" + currentMinutes + ":" + currentSeconds + " " + timeOfDay;


        $("#clock").html(currentTimeString); }

$(document).ready(function()
{setInterval('updateClock()', 1000);
});
