 Along with the rest of Queensland, Brisbane operates on
Australian Eastern Standard Time -- which is 10 hours ahead of GMT.
However, during the beautiful hot and humid summers, Queensland doesn't
change to Summertime or Daylight Saving with the rest of the East Coast
of Australia. This means it is an hour behind major commercial centres
such as Sydney, Melbourne and our National Capital Canberra.

Queensland's conservative regional areas to the West, North and Far
North of South East Queensland elected not to keep in time with the
southern States.
