When Mildura changes its clocks
Mildura is one of the places that still shifts its clocks twice a year
Mildura keeps Australian Eastern Standard Time at UTC+10:00 for most of the year, and moves to Australian Eastern Daylight Time at UTC+11:00 during its southern-hemisphere summer. The shift is 1 hour.
Because Mildura is in the southern hemisphere, its summer time runs across the new year rather than through the middle of it. When northern cities move forward in March, Mildura is moving back — so the gap between Mildura and Europe or North America changes by two hours over the year, not one.
Next change
4 April 2027 — clocks move back by 1 hour, from UTC+11:00 to UTC+10:00.

During summer time that gap widens to 1 hour 31 minutes ahead of the sun, which is the whole point of the exercise — shifting daylight into the evening.

When the clocks change here
Clocks go forward on the first Sunday in October, a rule the tzdb has applied since 2008.
It changed once:
- 2008from last Sunday in October to first Sunday in October
Before any of this, Mildura kept local mean time — solar noon by definition — at UTC+9:40, until February 1895. Standard time zones were an attempt to replace that with something people could agree on, and the Mildura clock still carries the residue of that original figure.
Every date above is a record in the IANA Time Zone Database, not an estimate. The database is maintained by volunteers who track official announcements; if a government changes its rules, these figures change with it.
