Some anomalies with the current DST arrangements.
Yalata, in the western part of South Australia (GMT+10:30), is half an hour ahead of Coolangatta on the Qld Gold Coast (GMT+10).
Broken Hill is in NSW but operates on Central Time.
A group of settlements on National Highway 1 in the eastern part of Western Australia, adjoining South Australia, operate on their own unofficial Central Western Time. That splits the difference between Western Standard Time and Central Standard Time, GMT+8:45 (!). They remain 45mins in front of Perth and do not go to Daylight Saving, whereas South Australia does.
From East to West they are Eucla, Mundrabilla, Madura and Cocklebiddy.
The population of this region might optimistically be put at 200 souls.
