Australian Time Zones Explained
Australia's time zone system is uniquely complex. There are 3 main bands, but DST splits some states. In summer, you can have up to 5 different offsets across the continent: UTC+8 (Perth), UTC+9:30 (Darwin), UTC+10 (Brisbane), UTC+10:30 (Adelaide with DST), and UTC+11 (Sydney with DST).
