A lot of people dont know about this because its an unofficial time zone.

Read about it here under the Trivia heading.

I have travelled from Western Australia to the East coast and back more times than I care to remember and never worried about this time change, just changed when we got to the border.

When we travelled to the USA it was Xmas Eve when we left and Xmas Eve when we arrived. Poor kids had two Xmas Eves to wait through before Santa arrived.
