Canada can celebrate 6 times, I believe Russia is 11 or 12 times while China can only celebrate once…

Australia is a whole ass continent in itself, on top of being a country, with many aspects unique to only itself.

Aren’t those points all in the middle of the desert? Might affect your party turnout.

Are all these points accessible by road?

Took me a few seconds to realize these are time zone “triple points” (as we call places in USA where 3 states touch.)
I also wanted to mention that there’s some tiny spot on the south coast of Australia with a wild x.45 min timezone. Not related this map but it’s silly.
Crossing a border and being 2.5 hours different in time is wild

TIL Brisbane, farther east than Melbourne and Sydney, is an hour earlier

Meanwhile in China. One timezone for a county the width of a continent!

I know from zoom meetings that places in India have half time zones as well.

I’m near the NSW/QLD border on the NSW side and this area gets a lot of Queenslander visitors over the holiday period. We do a street party for NYE and it’s always fun counting down twice because lots of the Queenslanders don’t change their clocks during their stay.

Except there is also the Eucla/WA/SA timezone boundary as well, where you can do +8, +8.75 (8 hours 45 minutes), and +10.5 as well thank’s to Eucla’s timezone.

How quickly could get from one point to the other? Wondering if it’s possible to celebrate new year 5 times in Australia.

Can you make it from one spot to the other in an hour and a half?
This absolutely reeks of a shitty YouTube video “We CELEBRATED New Years THREE TIMES in ONE NIGHT” with a shitty ai generated thumbnail
