South Australia observes daylight saving time; Western +# Australia does not. The two states are one and a half hours apart. The +# residents decided to forget about this nonsense of changing the clock so +# much and set the local time 20 hours and 45 minutes from the +# international date line, or right in the middle of the time of South +# Australia and Western Australia. As it only affects about 10 people and +# tourists staying at the Madura Motel, it has never really made as big an +# impact as Broken Hill.
