It's currently winter in Australia, so they're on standard time: Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) (Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria, and Tasmania) is UTC (GMT) + 10 hours; Australian Central Standard Time (ACST) (South Australia, and Northern Territory) is UTC + 9.5 hours; Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) (Western Australia) is UTC + 8 hours.
European time is currently summer time - UK, Ireland, and Portugal on UTC + 1, most of Europe on UTC + 2, eastern Europe (inc Greece and Finland) on UTC + 3, Moscow is on UTC + 4.
The individual Australian states decide whether or not to have summer time / daylight saving time (Queenland and Northern Territory do not) - in Western Australia DST runs from the last Sunday in October until the last Sunday in March, and puts WA on UTC + 9; South Australia, New South Wales, ACT, and Tasmania have DST from the first Sunday in October until the first Sunday in April, when SA is on UTC + 10.5 hours and the others are on UTC + 11 hours.
What this all boils down to, is that now, in June, when it's noon in London, 1 p.m. in Paris or Berlin, 2 p.m. in Athens, or 3 p.m. in Moscow, it's 7 p.m. in Perth, 8.30 p.m. in Adelaide, and 9 p.m. in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, or Brisbane.
In December, when Europe's on standard time and most of Australia's on daylight savings time, when it's noon in London, 1 p.m. in Paris or Berlin, 2 p.m. in Athens, or 3 p.m. in Moscow, it's 9 p.m. in Perth, 9.30 p.m. in Darwin, 10.30 p.m. in Adelaide, 10 p.m. in Brisbane, and 11 p.m. in Sydney, Melbourne, or Canberra. |
