Basic knowledge of Australian time zones and daylight saving time
Australia has three time zones:
- Eastern EST( Virginia, Xinzhou, Tazhou, Kunzhou, Capital Territory ,2 hours faster than Beijing time)
- Central CST( South Australia, North Territory ,1.5 hours faster than Beijing time)
- Western WST( Western Australia, no jet lag with Beijing time)
Since no daylight saving time is available in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, there are five different time zones in Australia.
Reference Reading
During daylight saving time, if you live in Melbourne, your time is the same as that of Sydney and Canberra, compared to other cities:
- Half an hour faster than Adelaide, South Australia;
- One hour faster than Brisbane, Queensland;
- An hour and a half faster than Darwin, the northern frontier;
- Three hours faster than Western Perth.
And that`s the legend that traveling across states has to be jet-lagged (I do n` t know what Australians think and why they`re torturing themselves so ⋯⋯).
Fortunately, at the end of daylight saving time, australia`s time zone will be back to three, saving everyone a lot of trouble.
On the day that daylight saving time begins and ends, the phone automatically synchronizes the time as long as it`s connected to the net, while home watches and wall clocks require you to manually slow down or slow down for an hour.
