Abbreviation disambiguation
On Clockjumper, ET refers to the Eastern Time zone of the United States and Canada. ET is an umbrella name rather than a fixed offset: it means EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer, and these pages show whichever is currently in force.
On Clockjumper, AEST refers to Australian Eastern Standard Time, UTC+10 — the winter time in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT. From the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April those states move to AEDT (UTC+11). Queensland stays on AEST all year and does not observe daylight saving.
