|
In Australia Daylight Saving Time or Summer Time is used in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, South
Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. During Daylight Saving Time turn your clocks ahead one hour. At the end of Daylight Saving Time turn your clocks back one hour. Recent legislation has
extended daylight saving time in Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria to end on the first Sunday in April at 3:00 AM Daylight Saving Time beginning in 2008. In addition,
starting in 2008, daylight saving time will begin on the first Sunday in October at 2:00 local standard time. The current daylight saving time provisions in Western Australia were not changed.
Western Australia's
usage of Daylight Saving Time is in a trial period which began on December 3, 2006. Daylight Saving Time is not used in the Northern Territory and Queensland.
In most of Australia the Daylight Saving Time period
is referred to as "Summer Time." The names in each time zone change along with Daylight Saving Time.
Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) becomes Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT)
Australian Central Standard Time (ACST) becomes Australian Central Daylight Time (ACDT)
Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) becomes Australian Western Daylight Time (AWDT) The two charts below show
when Daylight Saving Time begins and ends in Australia. You will sometimes see references to Daylight Saving Time ending at 2:00 AM Standard Time. In areas observing Daylight Saving Time this is equivalent to 3:00 AM
Daylight Saving Time. |
