Yes, it is. Australia has 3 main time zones, but in summer, which is when Christmas falls in Australia, there are five time zones due to all but one of the eastern states and one of the territories following daylight saving time. From October to March, New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania, see Christmas arrive 11 hours ahead of the UK, because they follow Australian Eastern Daylight Time. Queensland, the state in the northeast, sees Christmas 10 hours ahead of the UK because it still operates on Australian Eastern Standard time, or AEST.
Western Australia, the state that occupies the entire western third of the continent, greets Christmas 8 hours ahead of the UK in summer. South Australia has Christmas 10.5 hours earlier than the UK because it follows Central Daylight time, also known as Central Summer time. The Northern Territory has Christmas 9.5 hours ahead of the UK because it follows Australian Central Standard time rather than daylight saving.
