What are Australia doing on BST?



Just got to wait a week or so now for the Americas (and the forums) to catch up now.


Oh wait, they already did, how odd. Usually the forums are at least a week behind changing between GMT and BST... :P

Fair enough, but it's now spring for them. Are they coming off daylight saving or going on?

Fair enough.
I got my information from the following website. You need to scroll half way down for OZ. It is only a couple of states that observe daylight saving time??

As for our winter, thier spring, I don't know and it does not say.

All the countries/states marked in yellow on this map observe DST.

I assume that those in the Southern Hemisphere are now on DST or Summer Time so put their clocks forward when ours in the Northern Hemisphere go back.
