Australia — three main mainland timezones + DST split

Australia runs three main mainland timezones: AEDT/AEST (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra), ACDT/ACST (Adelaide, Darwin, +30 min offset from Eastern), AWDT/AWST (Perth). DST is a state-level decision — NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and the ACT observe it; Queensland (Brisbane), Northern Territory, and Western Australia do not. Summer flips create a moving offset mix — Sydney and Brisbane are 1 h apart in summer, same in winter.

Fusos horários na Oceania

A Oceania é dominada pelos três fusos horários da Austrália – AEDT/AEST (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane), ACDT/ACST (Adelaide, Darwin, +30 min), AWDT/AWST (Perth). A Nova Zelândia fica mais 2-3 horas à frente. Queensland (Brisbane), Território do Norte e Austrália Ocidental não observam o horário de verão – portanto, as mudanças de verão criam uma mistura móvel de compensações de cidades vizinhas. Auckland é uma das primeiras cidades a abrir o Dia Mundial dos Negócios.
