Planning a trip to Bali from Australia? One detail to consider is the time difference between the two locations. It’s not always a straightforward answer, because Australia is a big country with multiple time zones, and some even observe Daylight Saving Time (DST).
Here’s a quick rundown to help you avoid any confusion:
-
Bali vs. Perth: No difference! Perth and Bali share the same time zone (Western Indonesia Time, UTC+7) all year round. So if it’s 10 am in Perth, it’s also 10 am in Bali.
-
Bali vs. Melbourne & Sydney (Eastern States):
- During Standard Time (roughly April to October): There’s a 2-hour difference. When it’s 10 am in Melbourne or Sydney, it’s already midday in Bali (12 pm).
- During Daylight Saving Time (roughly October to March): The difference jumps to 3 hours. So at 10 am in Melbourne or Sydney, Bali will be 1 pm.
Top Tip: When planning calls or video chats, be sure to factor in the time difference depending on which Australian city you’re in and the season. Luckily, there are many online tools like WorldTimeServer [worldtimeserver.com] that can show you the current time difference in real-time.
With a little planning, the time difference won’t disrupt your Bali bliss! Now you can get back to daydreaming about those beautiful beaches.
