Time

Australia's Antarctic Stations all operate on different times. Except during the Summer season (October to March) the stations are in different time zones, reflecting the longitudinal distance that separates them.

Time differences between Australia and the stations vary from state to state and also with daylight saving regimes during summer. The following list indicates the time difference, where applicable, between Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) or Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) and local time at each station:

• Macquarie Island (current time 11:44 AM) - same as AEST and Hobart time over summer
• Casey (current time 11:44 AM) - 2 hours behind and same as Hobart over summer
• Davis (current time 5:44 AM) - 3 hours behind and 6 hours behind Hobart over summer
• Mawson (current time 5:44 AM) - 4 hours behind and 6 hours behind Hobart over summer

To work out the time on station, subtract the appropriate number of hours from Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) or Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT).
