Adelaide keeps a shared civil time with other places in this zone, but its position west of the zone's meridian means solar noon arrives after the clock reads twelve. The sun reaches its highest point later than the clock suggests, a gap that comes simply from where Adelaide sits in relation to the meridian defining this time offset.
