Australian Timezones
#1
Hi all,
Time for a lesson in time zones. It seems to me that not a whole lot of you know which timezone you're in, or know it sometimes... 

Daylight saving:
For those who choose to remain blisfully ignorant because they don't live in a state where it occurs, daylight saving is in SA, NSW, VIC, and TAS. It happens in Winter (I believe) and it involves -1 hour, altering the timezone of the state. 

Western Australia:
All of WA except for a small portion in the south east is AWST / GMT +8, the other chunk is ACWST / GMT +8:45

Northern Territory:
All of the Northern Territory is ACST / GMT +9:30

South Australia
All of SA is ACST / GMT +930 (Winter) +1030 (Summer)

Queensland:
All of QLD is AEST / GMT +10

New South Whales:
All of NSW is AEST / GMT +10 (Winter) +11 (Summer)

Victoria:
All of VIC is AEST / GMT +10 (Winter) +11 (Summer)

Tasmania:
All of TAS is AEST / GMT +10 (Winter) +11 (Summer)

Summary Notes:
GMT strans from Greenwich Mean Time, and UTC stands for Universal Time Coordinated. GMT and UTC are interchangeable. 
WA, NT, and QLD all don't have daylight saving. 
It isn't reliable to state that your timezone is AEST, because if you live in QLD it is an hour off of the other 3 states.
