The Australian Western Standard Time is observed in the state of Western Australia, and the Australian Central Standard Time is observed in South Australia along with Northern Territory, and The Australian Eastern Standard Time is observed in Queensland, New South Wales (except Broken Hill in Western New South Wales), Victoria, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory. However, in the 1890s the standard time was introduced and it came to be used by all the states of the country. This was referred to as the mean local time. Earlier, every town and local city in the country had its own local time. The history of the time-zones in Australia dates back to the late 19th century. Unlike many other countries, regulation of time in Australia is the prerogative of the Individual state governments. These time zones are observed among all the states of Australia however, some of these states observe Daylight Saving Time.
The three main time zones observed in Australia are Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST UTC+10:00), Australian Western Standard Time (AWST UTC+08:00), and the Australian Central Standard Time (ACST UTC+09:30). Australia uses three time-zones, while the external territories follow different time zones.
