Time difference between Anchorage and Brisbane
Brisbane is 18 hours ahead of Anchorage
Anchorage, the United States is UTC−9 · Brisbane, Australia is UTC+10 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year
Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Anchorage goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November and Brisbane does not change its clocks.
| Anchorage / Brisbane clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| summer / standard | 18 hours ahead | about 34 weeks — most of the year |
| standard / standard | 19 hours ahead | about 18 weeks |
Brisbane stays put all year while Anchorage moves, so a meeting fixed in Brisbane's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Anchorage's end.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Anchorage and nine-to-five in Brisbane do not overlap at all. With 18 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
