It's probably a bit late for this to be helpful, but since I used to do timezone conversions on a daily basis, here's a list of launch times for various different locations:

(All times are on June 8 or 5.)

US West Coast: Midnight
US East Coast: 3am
Brazil: 4am
United Kingdom: 8am
Western Europe: 9am
Eastern Europe: 10am
Japan: 5pm?
Western Australia: 3pm
Eastern Australia: 5pm

US Central (the midwest) is 2am and US Mountain is 1am, but I figured most of us in the middle half of US are used to converting from Eastern/Pacific since no one ever cares about us.

Actually, central Australia will be... 5:30pm, I think? They're one of the half-hour timezones. Some part of Nova Scotia is also a half-hour zone, and Alaska would be 11pm on the 7th.

Judging by the timer, Eastern Australia will be kicking off at 5pm on the 5th. I believe that makes it 3pm for Western Australia, unless they've done weird shit for their timezone (aka daylight savings time).

I can confirm its 3pm for western Australia Opal.

Personally I'll have just arrived on the minesite when it launches. Here's hoping I'm not needed for anything urgent in the field so I can register. Also thank God we have a mobile phone tower.
