Yeah but none of our coast is the edge of a time zone (unless it showed daylight saving), so we're invisible. Kind of cool.

Ohhhhh right I get it 👍

Never mind it's just a cool map!

The most identifiable feature that I went looking for was the kink in the border between Qld and NT/SA. It took me a long time to find because it's further north than expected. And once I found that, it was also really obvious where the coastlines for NT and SA are, since they're on a half-hour offset which means the whole coastline gets shown.

@Zagorath @youngalfred I searched for China, then looked south and found Eucla.🤣
