Definition

Australian Eastern Daylight Saving Time, the time zone used in southeastern Australia during summer months.

Etymology

Acronym formed from 'Australian Eastern Daylight Saving Time', established in the 20th century as Australia standardized its time zones and adopted daylight saving.

Kelly Says

Australia's time zones are so complex that during daylight saving, the country can have up to five different time zones simultaneously! AEDST creates a unique situation where some areas are 30 minutes offset from others.
