Residents of four Australian states will be able to sleep an extra hour on Sunday since daylight saving time is ending.
The states of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and South Australia will all switch to Eastern Standard Time on Sunday morning at three o’clock. After accounting for everything, it appears that for people living in these states, it will be two o’clock.
In this fashion, Queensland will once again be in the same time zone as the eastern Australian states. Simultaneously, the Sunshine State will independently decide whether or not to adopt DST.
The Northern Territory and South Australian residents will both observe Central Standard Time at the same time.
It will not be necessary for citizens of Queensland and Western Australia to change their clocks because these two jurisdictions do not observe daylight saving time.
