Sobre este Trap
Queensland keeps standard time all year, so during the southern summer Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra run an hour ahead of Brisbane. The gap bites on trips to the Gold Coast border, where Coolangatta stays on Queensland time while neighbouring Tweed Heads in New South Wales changes its clocks. Check which side of the border a booking or tour is on, and confirm the local time before you set an alarm for a flight or train.
