About WIB (Western Indonesia Time)
Western Indonesia Time (WIB, Waktu Indonesia Barat) is one of Indonesia's three time zones, fixed at UTC+07:00 all year.

The country's other zones are WITA (UTC+08:00) in the centre and WIT (UTC+09:00) in the east.

Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) is used in the eastern states of Australia including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, and the ACT.
