Good to know about the time in Sydney
Sydney follows Australian Eastern Time: UTC+10, and UTC+11 during daylight saving time, from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April. In the southern hemisphere, Australian summer time falls during the European winter: Australia and France change their clocks in opposite directions.
The difference with Paris therefore varies a great deal over the year: Sydney is 10 hours ahead of Paris in January and 8 hours ahead in July, with an intermediate difference for a few weeks in spring and autumn. Neighbouring Queensland, with Brisbane, never changes its clocks. Paris – Sydney time difference · Time in Melbourne
