Clock history of Western Australia
Western Australia has kept the same clocks as Perth since at least 1970: tzdata records both under Australia/Perth. Between 1970 and 2024, a daylight saving period began in 6 of the 55 years, most recently in 2008. Before 1970 local practice could differ from Perth’s, and tzdata does not track it separately; the year-by-year table, which starts with Perth’s local mean time, is on the Australia/Perth page.
