So does my missus, have her own time zone that is...........OUCH

Yes, there are a couple of 3/4 hour changes as you come across the border into the West along the Nullarbor. They seem to be a local thing. Nowhere else does this apply; not even in the north west. We ignore those little changes; just adjust 1½ hours when we get into WA (not accounting for any daylight saving periods). As aforesaid, NT and SA are the same.

If you are going through the centre and want to do the Giles Weather Station the tour, that is quoted on SA time not WA time, so you need to be aware of that or miss the tour.

I think the time zone variations on the Nullarbor date back to when the old telegraph station existed at Eucla. It was an attempt to put the WA and SA offices on the same time zones (or near enough).

I think its more of a tourist atraction
- I mean they dont sit down to watch the 6.00 oclock news at 5.15

Cheers mate
