Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Brisbane is 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Anchorage.
8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Brisbane is when Anchorage is also working, at 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM their time. Anchorage is 19 hours behind Brisbane. That leaves about 5 hours of common time — enough for a meeting or two, so use it deliberately. Watch the date, too: while it's still the workday in Brisbane, Anchorage is already on the previous day. Watch the DST gap — when Anchorage changes its clocks and Brisbane stays the same, this window slides by an hour.
