11km from the Western Australia/South Australia border there is a small town called Eucla, which has a timezone of UTC+08:45. Thus it should be possible to get a 7th celebration in with their 53 residents
2:44 As an Aussie watching this, I feel like I should clarify that while the full area highlighted here DOES always share a timezone, it actually consists of THREE states and two territories (though plenty of other Aussies will often forget that one of the bays off the coast of New South Wales is considered a separate territory because of weird reasons relating to Canberra)
At Cameron Corner there is a NYE celebration every year. Although it is in the middle of the desert, it is a “tourist” destination and there is a shop/cafe/fuel stop/camp ground there. It’s all 1 building, but still. This year there were about 200 people staying out there to celebrate the New Year three times in a row.
Channel tunnel technically allows to celebrate New Year twice. Once in Calais, and once in Folkestone. That's provided your shuttle leaves right after midnight, so that after that 35 minute journey you can drive on to UK soil
At the end where you said "lets pretend you're Bezos and you flew around to all the new years events" I was thinking "you're gonna need a website/domain/wix/squarespace/domain something or other" lol
@@steviesmiler didn't know they used UTC +0. I knew they used a fixed timezone, but didn't know it was UTC +0. That being said, technically they would be over multiple timezones, so New Year's celebrations would be going on below them multiple times.
Would you ever consider doing something on the Port of Port Hedland, Australia? Sounds like more of a Wendover video maybe. But the massive ships that come in there have less than 1 foot clearance to the sea floor. It’s such a tight operation
You forgot the other time zone in Australia, the tiny one (UTC+8:45). They don't follow DST. It doesn't change the amount of New Years you can celebrate in one night, but it's yet another time zone tri-point in Australia
actually, it does, or at least, partially. There's a couple of villages on the WA border that don't follow DST, but the South Australian village of Border Town does follow DST, so just crossing that road westwards goes in 4 different time zones - 10.5, 9.45, 8.45 and 8.
Considering both Tibooburra and Forrest airports are around 5000 feet, and Tibooburra’s largest runway is dirt I’d dare say it’ll be impossible to even make it to WA in an hour and thirty mins in an aircraft capable of operating from Tibooburra, let alone Forrest to Unalaska
This channel actually gives me life. Who would even!! No one, absolutely no one ever: Half as Interesting: How to Celebrate New Year's Eve 4 Times in One Night
Stand on the north pole where all lines of longitude meet, and you will be in every singe time zone simultaneously, and since there is UTC -12 through +12, counting zero, you can celebrate new years 25 times
What if I were to stand near one of the poles and every hour just walk forward a few steps until, 24 hours later, I’ve completed a small circle around a stick in the middle of the Arctic desert? Honestly it beats my New Years...
Victoria and Tasmania are in the same time zone as New South Wales, so there's no need to visit those states for the purpose of this deranged exercise.
you could celebrate most of the new years in the world. just get on a plane in one time zone at 12am and then fly west and then it will always be 11 something when you hit that time zone, so when it’s 12am in that time zone, congrats, you’ve celebrated another new years
If you have an infinite supply of money, build a large facility at one of the poles. Since there are 24 time zones that intersect at both poles, you can celebrate New Years 24 times simply by moving a few feet after each time.
One thing I'd recommend looking at is the town of Eucla, in Western Australia. It's right on the border of WA and SA and has a timezone halfway between the two states. Edit: Eucla is UTC+8:45.
Just go to the South Pole and walk like 3 feet over every hour. That's like what, 24 times in one night? Edit: He just said that in the video nevermind
dude. start in like Kiribati or whatever, get a concorde or any pretty fast plane, and just fly west and have some refuel planes. BOOM. More than 24 times I believe.
2:41 New South Wales does not go all the way down to the coast. The state of Victoria is below NSW, the state line is the Murray River. Also Tasmania is it’s own state
But what if you take icebreaker near the north pole? It can travel pretty quickly between all 25 time zones... And Russia has ice breakers that can reach north pole, in fact they even do cruise yearly where for just $30,000-$45,000 you can go to north pole on an ice breaker, and those are fully self sufficient with nuclear reactors so you don't need to worry about fuel.
