In the parts of Australia that observe it, Daylight Saving Time begins on the first Sunday of October and ends on the first Sunday in April. The clocks move forward one hour in October and back one hour in April.
Queensland was the first state to reject daylight saving, and as a result, has been subject to many ill-informed jokes and derogatory comments about why Queenslanders rejected daylight saving. It should be noted that Western Australia has also now turned its back on daylight saving, after a trial of several years.
Daylight savings time applies in parts of Australia, but not the entire country. The Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia do not follow daylight savings time. All other parts follow it from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April.
