Australian House of Representatives chamber Entrance to the House of Representatives The Australian House of Representatives is one of the two houses (chambers) of the Parliament of Australia.
Western Australia was granted self-government in 1889 with a bicameral House of Parliament, located in Perth, consisting of the Legislative Assembly (or lower house), and the Legislative Council (or upper house).
Western Australia is the most sparsely populated of all the states; only the coastal fringe and the gold-fields show any evidences of settlement, and if the area were divided amongst the population there would be but ten persons to 52 sq.

 Time zone - Wikipedia
Time zones are areas of the Earth that follow the same definition of time.
Time zones partially rectified the problem by setting the clocks of a region to the same mean solar time.
Time zones are generally centered on meridians of a longitude that is a multiple of 15º; however as the map below shows, the shapes of time zones can be quite irregular because of boundaries of countries.

 Australian Western Standard Time - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Australian Western Standard Time or AWST is a time zone eight hours ahead of UTC.
It is the same time zone as Chinese Standard Time.
All of Western Australia observes this time zone, and does not observe daylight saving time at any point in the year, in contrast to the eastern states of Australia, such as New South Wales.

 Time in Australia Information
The standardisation of time in Australia began in 1892, when surveyors from the Australian colonies gathered in Melbourne for the Intercolonial Conference of Surveyors.
The Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory maintained the standard time zones of their parent states (New South Wales and South Australia) when they separated from them in 1910 and 1911.
In November 2004, the Attorneys General endorsed a proposal from the Australian National Measurement Institute to adopt UTC as the basis of all Australian standard times, thereby eliminating the effects of slight variations in the Earth's rotation rate that are inherent to mean solar time.

 Time in Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Western Australia is operating daylight saving time in a trial period from the summer of 2006-2007 until summer 2008-2009, after which a referendum will be held to determine if it should be put in place permanently.
The government of Western Australia has passed legislation to trial daylight saving for a fourth time beginning December 3, 2006 and lasting three years, at the end of which a referendum would be held to decide the final fate of daylight saving in the state.

Time zone - A time zone is a region of the Earth that has adopted the same standard time, usually referred to as the local time.
Yukon Standard Time Zone - The Yukon Standard Time Zone (YST) was a geographic region that kept standard time by subtracting nine hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) resulting in UTC-9 after 1971, or from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) before 1972.

 Daylight saving time
Using UTC as local time worldwide would have the disadvantage that 12 o’clock at any place on the globe would not occur at around the time the sun is at its high point in the sky at that place.
Daylight saving time ceases in all states and territories at 0200 standard local time on Sunday 25 March 2007; this means that at 0300 daylight saving time on that date, clocks are moved back to 0200 standard time.
Note that all states standardised their time zones from the beginning of February 1895; at that time South Australian time was set half way between the east and west coasts.

Western Australia, which traditionally does not use daylight savings time, has opted to do so for a trial period of three years from 2006 to bring it's time closer to the eastern states during the summer.
Broken Hill, a town in western New South Wales uses the ACST time zone of neighbouring South Australia rather than that of it's state.
As Western Australia is now observing daylight savings time this area does also, setting it's clocks to 9 hours and 45 minutes ahead of UTC in the summer months.

 UTC | Koordinaten / Informationen / Encyclopedia of terms - UTC
Originally, the local time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich, England was chosen as standard at the 1884 International Meridian Conference, leading to the widespread use of Greenwich Mean Time in order to set local clocks.
International standard UTC time can only be determined to the highest precision after the fact, as atomic time is determined by the reconciliation of the observed differences between an ensemble of atomic clocks maintained by a number of national time bureaus.
UTC is a hybrid time scale: the rate of UTC is based on atomic frequency standards but the epoch of UTC is synchronized to remain close to astronomical UT.

 Time zone
Time zones are areas of the Earth that have adopted the same standard time.
Time zones are generally centered on meridianss of a longitude that is a multiple of 15º thus making neighbouring time zones one hour apart.

A clockmaker or town clock would be the "official" time and the citizens would set their pocket watches and clocks to the time of the town - enterprising citizens would offer their services as mobile clock setters, carrying a watch with the accurate time to adjust the clocks in customer's homes on a weekly basis.
The standardization of time was essential to efficient operation of railroads.
Since time zones are based on segments of longitude and lines of longitude narrow at the poles, scientists working at the North and South Poles simply use UTC time.

 UTC - Time NZ & A
Australian Standard Time zones are based on UTC, adjusted for longitude.
For example: AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time = UTC + 10 hours (centred on 150° East longitude) is used in Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria and Tasmania.
As one (Australian) example: if an event is predicted on July 6 at 16h 15m UT (UTC), then in the Eastern Australian winter the time will be 16:15 UTC + 10h = 26:15 AEST (more than 24) = 02:15 AEST on the next day, which is 2:15 am on July 7, and not July 6.

Time zones are areas of the Earth that have adopted the same standard time, usually referred to as the local time.
Time zones were first proposed for the entire world by Canada's Sir Sandford Fleming in 1876 as an appendage to the single 24-hour clock he proposed for the entire world (located at the center of the Earth and not linked to any surface meridian!).
Nepal's time zone of UTC + 5:45 was adopted in 1986 [5].

 John Howard: Standard bearer in liberal culture | News | The Australian
Until recent times, it had become almost de rigueur in intellectual circles to regard Australian history as little more than a litany of sexism, racism and class warfare.
Armed with clear evidence of the decline of Australian history in our schools, the Government has made a start in our quest to ensure that the nation's history is an essential component of every Australian child's education, no longer an afterthought or an optional extra.
This is about ensuring children are actually taught their national inheritance: a nation like all others with its share of failures and mistakes, but one that has emerged at the start of this millennium as one of the most successful societies on earth.

The Australian Shepherd comes in four acceptable colors: fl, blue merle (a marbling of gray and fl), red (ranging from light cinnamon to liver), and red merle (marbling of red and silver or buff).
The Australian Shepherd was given its name because of their association with the Basque sheepherders who came to the United States from Australia in the 1800's.
In 1990, the United States Australian Shepherd Association was established as the parent club of the Australian Shepherd representing the breed to the American Kennel Club.

Since nearly all computing, networking, and telecommunications realms are related to accurate timing processes, it is essential to understand the importance of time zones and proper time synchronization.
Time zones are sometimes represented in a relative manner, without regard to their standard or daylight saving state (e.g., ET, instead of EST or EDT).

When I was resetting the times for WordPress and ShortStat, I happened to wonder what this UTC is different from GMT and what happened to GMT, which I’m more familiar with.
Briefly speaking, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is based on the rotation of the earth around its axis and the sun, which isn’t completely regular, whereas UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is based on a Cesium atomic clock, which is far more accurate and regular.
However, UTC is the official term for today’s atomically measured time as distinct from time determined by astronomical observation as formerly carried out at Greenwich.

Textpattern calculates the local time based on the server time (i.e., the time used by the server your Textpattern package is installed on); thus, if the server time is not your local time, you will need to adjust the time offset here.
The time system that is standard for all Internet-related synchronizations is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), which is the time system your Web servers are likely using as well.
So in the time zone control you would select GMT +01:00 to adjust your UTC offset, and to ensure your articles reflect dates and times accurate to where you are.

It might seem curious that Australian rules football should develop as the dominant football code in a mining city in the far west of New South Wales, a state more known for the dominance of Rugby league.
This link to states with an Australian rules football culture was further enhanced with the later flow of workers to and from the gold mining Kalgoorlie-Coolgardie axis in Western Australia.
In more recent times players from Broken Hill to find their mark with the country's professional league, the Australian Football League, include Fremantle Football Club's Dean Solomon, Brent Staker of West Coast Eagles Football Club, Michael Pettigrew of Port Adelaide FC and Jared Rivers of Melbourne FC.
