The world's smallest time zone is only used by 200 people!

The world's smallest time zone is only used by 200 people!

Time in Australia uses more than three time zones, including Australian Western Standard Time (AWST), Australian Central Standard Time (ACST), and Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).




Time is regulated by the individual state governments, some of which observe daylight saving time (DST). Australia's external territories observe different time zones.




A compromise between Western and Central time, unofficially known as Central Western Standard Time, is used in one area in the southeastern corner of Western Australia and one roadhouse in South Australia. The total population of that area is estimated at 200 people.




This area did not change when South Australia introduced DST. During the Western Australian trial of DST from 2006 to 2009, this area also set it's clocks ahead one hour during summer.
