How about that one time zone in Australia that was established just so people traveling between Adelaide and Perth (back when it took like almost a week) could adjust to the difference in when the sun rose/set
“The use of this timezone dates back to at least 1935. The April 1935 Commonwealth Railways public timetable shows that ‘Central Time’ was used by that government organisation between Wynbring (in the East; Localities on the Trans-Australian Railway) and Rawlinna (in the West). Passengers were advised to advance/removed their watches by 45 minutes each night on their journey.”
The number of permanent residents that use this weird time is in the double digits, incl. the town of Cocklebiddy (population:14)
