Best overlap: 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Brisbane is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Milan.
Aim for 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Brisbane time — that's 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM over in Milan. Milan is 8 hours behind Brisbane, so you only get about 2 hours of overlap a day — worth locking in a standing time like 4:00 PM in Brisbane (8:00 AM in Milan) before it slips. Finally, Milan observes daylight saving and Brisbane doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
