Yes and no. Queensland don't. NSW, Vic do, don't know about the others, too far away to bother with

And because the clocks have already gone back in Europe, I've got to get up an hour earlier to catch the footy

Now I'm totally confused Who's going back and who's going forward! Mind you, don't even know what day it is sometimes!
Then again, we're in Perth so we're not affected by either!

So, if Adelaide were 10.5 hours ahead, then our clocks went forward so they are now 9.5 hours ahead, what will they be at the weekend cos I am driving myself trying to work out if they are going forward or back


Please someone tell me
