Why Sydney has its own time
Australia spans 7 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Sydney covers New South Wales (most areas) and is on the same clock as Sydney, though the two are separate zones in the IANA database and can diverge when daylight saving rules differ.
Clocks here change on Sunday, April 4, 2027: 3:00 am becomes 2:00 am local time, back one hour.
