Time difference between Brisbane and Anchorage
Anchorage is 18 hours behind Brisbane
Brisbane, Australia is UTC+10 · Anchorage, the United States is UTC−9 — 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 Brisbane does not change its clocks and Anchorage goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.
| Brisbane / Anchorage clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 18 hours behind | about 34 weeks — most of the year |
| standard / standard | 19 hours behind | about 18 weeks |
Brisbane stays put all year while Anchorage moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Anchorage's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Brisbane's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Brisbane and nine-to-five in Anchorage 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.
