It's wrong to say "Next Australia", as Norfolk Island is an Australian territory.

Australia is a confusing one.

Norfolk Island first at 12:30 GMT, then most of the east coast at 1300 UTC except Queensland, which does not observe DST. Then you go to South Australia at 1330 UTC as it observes DST, before heading back to the east coast at 1400 UTC for Queensland. Then at 1430 UTC, the Northern Territory celebrates the New Year, and at 1500 UTC Western Australia rings in 2008. The Cocos Islands, on UTC+6:30, is an Australian settlement and the last Aussie territory to celebrate the new year, at 1730 UTC.

The whole of China is next, even all the way west to the Pakistani border. This is despite the fact that Pakistan won't be in 2008 for an extra three hours.

Yes, it's weird but the entire country of China has only one time zone.
