Unnecessary reflux obtained during US-Australian collaboration from insufficiently specific references to "east coast time".



Even in Australia, AEST has a DST flavour and a non-DST one. Queensland does not observe DST while the other states do. You can drive around a roundabout at the border and switch timezones for fun. Or go down there to celebrate the new year twice.

Or go from rabbits being OK to some 5 figure fine if you're caught with one :)


my limited understanding of local pejoratives suggests that it remains traditional to sledge QLD for being one hour and twenty years behind


I believe its traditional to reply that NSW was 8 points behind in the only yard stick those north of the border care about.
