BST vs AEST — cities and working rhythm
UK / Ireland summer offset (last Sunday of March to last Sunday of October) — UTC+1, same as CET. During BST, London aligns with continental European working hours rather than the standard 1-hour gap. Winter reverts to GMT (UTC+0).
Australia's east-coast winter offset (April to October), UTC+10. Brisbane stays on AEST year-round since Queensland has no DST. Big gap with Europe (8-10 h ahead) and North America (14-17 h ahead) — often faster to just email.
Time gap: AEST is 9.0 hours ahead of BST (standard-time offsets — daylight-saving flips shift this by an hour twice a year in most northern-hemisphere zones).
