Australia’s time zones

Australia is divided into three time zones: Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), Australian Central Standard Time (ACST) and Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

The time difference between the UK and Australia, therefore, depends on which time zone you are in. We suggest that you add the regions you will visit on the world clock on your smartphone. This will hopefully help to save any confusion.

The time difference may also be affected by daylight savings. Which may add or minus an hour. Daylight savings occurs from October through the end of March.

Officially, Australian Daylight Saving Time begins on the first Sunday of October and ends on the first Sunday of April. However, not all parts of Australia are affected by daylight savings.

Seasonal activities

Is it your dream to marvel at whales? Or snorkel the Great Barrier Reef? Depending on which activities you would like to do in Australia, depends on when the best travel time is. Because some of your dream activities may be only available seasonal or best experienced at a certain time of year. If you do have an activity on your bucket list, let’s sit down and have a chat about it together. We will ensure that you won’t miss out on your experience of a lifetime.
