AEST
Australia uses three main time zones: Australian Western Standard Time (AWST; UTC+08:00), Australian Central Standard Time (ACST; UTC+09:30), and Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST; UTC+10:00). Time is regulated by the individual state governments, some of which observe daylight saving time (DST). Australia's external territories observe different time zones. Standard time was introduced in the 1890s when all of the Australian colonies adopted it. Before the switch to standard time zones, each local city or town was free to determine its local time, called local mean time. Now, Western Australia uses Western Standard Time; South Australia and the Northern Territory use Central Standard Time; while New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria (Australia), Victoria, Jervis Bay Territory, and the Australian Capital Territory use Eastern Standard Time. Daylight saving time (+1 hour) is used in jurisdictions in the south and south-east: South Australia, New South Wales, Vict ...

Avicennia Marina Dominated Community Nudgee Creek Nudgee Beach Bramble Bay Queensland P1040543
''Avicennia'' is a genus of flowering plants currently placed in the bear's breeches family, Acanthaceae. It contains mangrove trees, which occur in the intertidal zones of estuarine areas and are characterized by its "pencil roots", which are aerial roots. They are also commonly known as ''api api'', which in the Malay language means "fires", a reference to the fact that fireflies often congregate on these trees. Species of ''Avicennia'' occur worldwide south of the Tropic of Cancer. The taxonomic placement of ''Avicennia'' is contentious. In some classifications, it has been placed in the family Verbenaceae, but more recently has been placed by some botanists in the monogeneric family Avicenniaceae. Recent phylogenetic studies have suggested that ''Avicennia'' is derived from within Acanthaceae, and the genus is included in that family in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system. Designation of species is made difficult by the great variations in form of ''Avicennia marina''. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Turrbal Association uses the Turrbal spelling and prefer this over other spellings of Turrbal such as Turubul, Turrubal, Turrabul, Toorbal, and Tarabul. The four dialects listed in Dixon (2002) are sometimes seen as separate Durubalic languages, especially Jandai and Nunukul; Yagara, Yugarabul, and Turrbul proper are more likely to be considered dialects. Influence on other languages The Australian English word ''yakka'', an informal term referring to any work, especially of strenuous kind, comes from the Yagara word ''yaga'', the verb for 'work'.
