Australian here!

I constantly forget which way the half hour difference is between Adelaide and Melbourne / Sydney!

Then I have regular contact with offices in London and LA. For some of the year it’s not too bad, and then our clocks switch the opposite way and it gets less convenient! Which way is which I can never remember.

Queensland doesn’t bother changing their clocks at all.

Writing software that deals with Timezones isn’t too bad these days, but supporting it is as it constantly confuses users I find!

You have some fun ones. On the other side of the spectrum is PRC, where at the same hour of day it can be complete darkness on one side and almost technically noon on the other. It's super arbitrary with little rhyme or reason.
