Standard time in Broken Hill (i.e. the County of Yancowinna) is the mean time of the meridian of longitude 142 degrees 30 minutes east of Greenwich and standard time in Lord Howe Island is the mean time of the meridian of longitude 157 degrees 30 minutes east of Greenwich (9.5 hours and 10.5 hours ahead of Greenwich respectively).

Start and Finish of Daylight Saving in NSW

Daylight saving begins at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the last Sunday in October and ends at 3 a.m. summer time on the last Sunday in March. During daylight saving, summer time in New South Wales is one hour in advance of New South Wales standard time.

Therefore, at 2 a.m. standard time on the last Sunday in October clocks are put forward one hour- the time then becomes 3 a.m. summer time. At 3 a.m. summer time on the last Sunday in March clocks are put back one hour- the time then becomes 2 a.m. standard time.
