It can be confusing keeping track of Australia and US time, especially in the first few days of arrival. Oddly, Australia’s Central Time Zone is only 30 minutes off, rather than the standard hour. In addition, remember that you crossed the International Dateline on your way to Australia. This means that we are a day ahead of the US. To help you keep track, here are some useful conversion diagrams.
Australia Northern Territory (Darwin and Kakadu)
Eastern Time Zone US is 13 hrs and 30 minutes behind
Central Time Zone US is 14 hrs and 30 minutes behind
