Weird Time Zones

[Outdated]

Australia has some very strange time zone differences during summer and even when you've lived your whole life here it can get a bit confusing. Some of our states have daylight savings and some don't, so in summer the clocks jump forward 1 hour in some states but not others. Add to that the fact that central Australia has a weird time zone all of it's own and the results can look a little confusing.

So when organising video conferencing meetings in Australia they need to mark all the different times out quite clearly:

So far we have,
-spiders
-boxing kangaroos
-SUPER HOT!
-Messy timezones

It's the same way in the US. There are nine different time zones in the US and its territories, and some states have daylight savings time while others do not.

only one time zone here and I can barely keep track of that switching twice a year!
