UTC+08:45 is used as a
time in Australia
(Central Western Time, or CWT). It is used by some roadhouses along the
Eyre Highway
in
Western Australia
and
South Australia
. Although not legally defined by the state or federal governments,
[1]
the boundaries where it commences and ends are clearly understood and recognised by the
Shire of Dundas

and are frequently shown on road maps of the area. Road signs at the western end of the time zone on the Eyre Highway advise travellers to reset their clocks by 45 minutes.
