Beating the time difference

Sydney and Melbourne run 14–16 hours ahead of Toronto and 17–19 hours ahead of Vancouver (depending on daylight saving at both ends). Like the US, the rule of thumb is: your evening is Australia's next morning.

From Toronto or Montreal: call at 5–7pm to catch Australia at 8–10am the next day.
From Vancouver or Calgary: call at 3–6pm to reach Australia between 9am and midday the next day.

Untimed 10¢ landline calls mean the catch-up can run as long as it likes. And for the hours that never line up, an Australian number with voicemail-to-email catches everything while you sleep.
