Hi Barb,
If you still have a problem following my instructions as to where
the .plist (Preference File) is located,
I can send you a screen shot "off-list" showing you where to look.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Barb,
The Tilde " ~ " means your user name (your HOME) . So click on your
HD/Users/your account name/Library/Preferences
In Panther ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MenuBarClock.plist
Drag this file to the Trash, empty the trash and restart your
computer.
If the Menu Bar clock doesn't update after opening up the Date and
Time Preference Pane, you may need to disable/enable the clock to
see the change.

Hi Ronni .. should have said I guess .. I'm on 10.3.9.
Won't be going any higher than where I can use Classic because I'd
fade away without Photoshop, & there's no way in the rest of this
OAP lifetime I can ever buy a current version!
Plus, it's a 2004 emac from PLC with 512 RAM & prob not suited to
things like Leopard!
Hate to admit it, but I don't have a clue how to find/get into ~/
Library .. I set the emac up with OSX/Classic (moving on from OS9)
back in April 2008 & since then everything's just run trouble free
- never had to adjust/fix anything!
Except for a bit of a hiccup with Mail which got sorted.)
Know/knew my way round OS9 intimately, but not OSX!
Cheers .. BarbZ

Hi Barb,
The menu bar clock settings are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.MenuBarClock.plist (in Leopard) or
com.apple.menueextra.clock.plist (in Snow Leopard)
Try Drag the preference file to the trash and restart you
computer. See if it then shows the Menu Bar Clock time correctly.
If it does you can empty the trash, if it doesn't drag & drop the
plist file back where it came from.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni, Shay, Bill, John .. thanks for replying.
As I said in my original request, have been into System
Preferences -> Date/Time, which is showing correct Perth time.
It does have "Set Automatically" ticked, it's showing Perth in
the Apple Asia time band, & it says WST, closest city = Perth,
Australia.
It's just the menu bar which is behind-the-times (or ahead of
possibly!)

Seems widespread in Windows PCs as well .. quite a few people

mentioned it in freecycle cafe today.
Apple put daylight savings for WA in for 3 years until the
referendum, Microsoft assumed it would be permanent. Your Mac
shouldn't be observing DST. Does your Date and Time control
panel think you're in the Perth timezone?
Have fun,

Hi Barb,
Check System Preferences > Date & Time
Under Date & Time - do you have "Set Date & Time Automatically"
ticked, & "Apple Asia (time.asia.apple.com)"?
Under Time Zone (as Shay has mentioned) Perth-Australia
