In reference to Gok's posting, you might want to list the times relevent to the major AUS timezones. Since there isn't technically a 'EST', especially during Daylight saving, you may want to list:
QLD - ???
NSW,ACT,VIC,TAS - ???
SA/NT - ???
WA - ???
and maybe NZ for our NZ members.

Actually according to the Australian government web site (see link in my last post) Australian EST (AEST) is "is equal to Coordinated Universal Time plus 10 hours (UTC +10)."

As for daylight savings time, the site says "Where daylight saving is being observed.....AEST becomes Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT), and clocks are advanced to UTC +11."

QLD - ???
NSW,ACT,VIC,TAS - ???
SA/NT - ???
WA - ???

QLD = AEST (UTC+10)
NSW (except Broken Hill), ACT, VIC, TAS = AEDT (UTC+11)
SA, NT & Broken Hill NSW = ACDT (UTC+10½)
WA = AWDT (UTC+9)

and maybe NZ for our NZ members.

NZ = NZDT (UTC+13)

Man - this is one totally confusing comp!!!

So, if you're in SA - do you have to post at 8pm then???? Is that what you're saying?

My head hurts!

December Saturday 27th

QLD = AEST (UTC+10) 7.30 PM
NSW (except Broken Hill), ACT, VIC, TAS = AEDT 8.30 PM
SA, NT & Broken Hill NSW = ACDT (UTC+10½) 8 PM
