# From Alex Livingston (1996-11-01):
|
|
|
76 |
# I have heard or read more than once that some resort islands off the coast
|
|
|
77 |
# of Queensland chose to keep observing daylight-saving time even after
|
|
|
78 |
# Queensland ceased to.

80 |
# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22):
|
|
|
81 |
# IATA SSIM (1993-02/1994-09) say that the Holiday Islands (Hayman, Lindeman,
|
|
|
82 |
# Hamilton) observed DST for two years after the rest of Queensland stopped.
|
|
|
83 |
# Hamilton is the largest, but there is also a Hamilton in Victoria,
|
|
|
84 |
# so use Lindeman.

|

# From J William Piggott (2016-02-20):
|
|
|
87 |
# There is no location named Holiday Islands in Queensland Australia; holiday
|
|
|
88 |
# islands is a colloquial term used globally. Hayman and Lindeman are at the
|
|
|
89 |
# north and south extremes of the Whitsunday Islands archipelago, and
|
|
|
90 |
# Hamilton is in between; it is reasonable to believe that this time zone
|
|
|
91 |
# applies to all of the Whitsundays.

898 |
# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as 'daylight' time.
|
|
|
899 |
# It is called 'summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, 'summer'
|
|
|
900 |
# and 'standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the

2
|
901 |
# abbreviation does _not_ change...
|
|
|
902 |
# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
|
|
|
903 |
# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
|
|
|
904 |
# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
|
|
26452

905 |
# the phrase 'summer time' and does not use the phrase 'daylight

# time'.
|
|
|
907 |
# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian

# Inspired by Mackin's remarks quoted above, earlier versions of this

920 |

# The International Date Line
|
|
|
1761 |
|
|
|
1762 |
# From Gwillim Law (2000-01-03):
|
|
|
1763 |
#
|
|
|
1764 |
# The International Date Line is not defined by any international standard,
|
|
|
1765 |
# convention, or treaty. Mapmakers are free to draw it as they please.
|
|
|
1766 |
# Reputable mapmakers will simply ensure that every point of land appears on
|
|
|
1767 |
# the correct side of the IDL, according to the date legally observed there.
|
|
|
1768 |
#
|
|
|
1769 |
# When Kiribati adopted a uniform date in 1995, thereby moving the Phoenix and
|
|
|
1770 |
# Line Islands to the west side of the IDL (or, if you prefer, moving the IDL
|
|
|
1771 |
# to the east side of the Phoenix and Line Islands), I suppose that most
|
|
|
1772 |
# mapmakers redrew the IDL following the boundary of Kiribati. Even that line
|
|
|
1773 |
# has a rather arbitrary nature. The straight-line boundaries between Pacific
|
|
|
1774 |
# island nations that are shown on many maps are based on an international
|
|
|
1775 |
# convention, but are not legally binding national borders.... The date is
|
|
|
1776 |
# governed by the IDL; therefore, even on the high seas, there may be some
|
|
|
1777 |
# places as late as fourteen hours later than UTC. And, since the IDL is not
|
|
|
1778 |
# an international standard, there are some places on the high seas where the
|
|
|
1779 |
# correct date is ambiguous.

# From Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone> (2005-08-31):
|
|
|
1782 |
# Before 1920, all ships kept local apparent time on the high seas by setting
|
|
|
1783 |
# their clocks at night or at the morning sight so that, given the ship's
|
|
|
1784 |
# speed and direction, it would be 12 o'clock when the Sun crossed the ship's
|
|
|
1785 |
# meridian (12 o'clock = local apparent noon). During 1917, at the
|
|
|
1786 |
# Anglo-French Conference on Time-keeping at Sea, it was recommended that all
|
|
|
1787 |
# ships, both military and civilian, should adopt hourly standard time zones
|
|
|
1788 |
# on the high seas. Whenever a ship was within the territorial waters of any
|
|
|
1789 |
# nation it would use that nation's standard time. The captain was permitted
|
|
|
1790 |
# to change his ship's clocks at a time of his choice following his ship's
|
|
26452
|
1791 |
# entry into another zone time - he often chose midnight. These zones were
|
|
2
|
1792 |
# adopted by all major fleets between 1920 and 1925 but not by many
|
|
|
1793 |
# independent merchant ships until World War II.
