Clocks turn back as daylight saving ends

Most of Australia has enjoyed an extra hour of sleep this weekend with the end of daylight saving.

The clocks have wound back one hour from 3am on Sunday in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT.

Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart are now at the same time as Brisbane, two hours ahead of Perth and half an hour ahead of Adelaide and Darwin.

States coming off daylight saving will be one hour ahead of Tokyo, two hours ahead of Beijing and Jakarta, eight hours ahead of western Europe and nine hours ahead of London.

Most smartphones may automatically make the switch but manual clocks will need to be adjusted.

Daylight saving will come back into effect on Sunday October 2.
