# From Alex Livingston (1996-11-01): |
|
78 |
# I have heard or read more than once that some resort islands off the coast |
|
79 |
# of Queensland chose to keep observing daylight-saving time even after |
|
80 |
# Queensland ceased to. |
|
81 |
# |
|
82 |
# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22): |
|
83 |
# IATA SSIM (1993-02/1994-09) say that the Holiday Islands (Hayman, Lindeman, |
|
84 |
# Hamilton) observed DST for two years after the rest of Queensland stopped. |
|
85 |
# Hamilton is the largest, but there is also a Hamilton in Victoria, |
|
86 |
# so use Lindeman. |
|
87 |
# |
|
38768 | 88 |
# From J William Piggott (2016-02-20): |
89 |
# There is no location named Holiday Islands in Queensland Australia; holiday |
|
90 |
# islands is a colloquial term used globally. Hayman and Lindeman are at the |
|
91 |
# north and south extremes of the Whitsunday Islands archipelago, and |
|
92 |
# Hamilton is in between; it is reasonable to believe that this time zone |
|
93 |
# applies to all of the Whitsundays. |

# Sometimes Johnston kept Hawaii time, and sometimes it was an hour behind. |

# Details are uncertain. We have no data for Johnston after 1970, so |

# "We started our letdown to Kwajalein Atoll and landed there at 5:00 AM |

|
852 |
# confirms that Johnston kept the same time as Honolulu in summer 1945. |

# [W]hen JI was being used for that [atomic bomb] testing, the time being used |
|
856 |
# was not Hawaiian time but rather the same time being used on the ships, |
|
857 |
# which had a GMT offset of -11 hours. This apparently applied to at least the |

858 |
# time from Operation Newsreel (Hardtack I/Teak shot, 1958-08-01) to the last |

# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30): |
956 |
# Daylight saving time has long been controversial in Australia, pitting |
|
957 |
# region against region, rural against urban, and local against global. |
|
958 |
# For example, in her review of Graeme Davison's _The Unforgiving |
|
959 |
# Minute: how Australians learned to tell the time_ (1993), Perth native |
|
960 |
# Phillipa J Martyr wrote, "The section entitled 'Saving Daylight' was |
|
961 |
# very informative, but was (as can, sadly, only be expected from a |
|
962 |
# Melbourne-based study) replete with the usual chuckleheaded |
|
963 |
# Queenslanders and straw-chewing yokels from the West prattling fables |
|
964 |
# about fading curtains and crazed farm animals." |

|
978 |
# From John Mackin (1991-03-06): |
|
26452 | 979 |
# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as 'daylight' time. |
980 |
# It is called 'summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, 'summer' |
|
981 |
# and 'standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the |
|
2 | 982 |
# abbreviation does _not_ change... |
983 |
# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least |
|
984 |
# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the |
|
985 |
# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses |
|
26452 | 986 |
# the phrase 'summer time' and does not use the phrase 'daylight |
2 | 987 |
# time'. |
988 |
# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian |
|
26452 | 989 |
# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases 'Eastern Standard Time' |
990 |
# or 'Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the |
|
2 | 991 |
# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers |
992 |
# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases |
|
26452 | 993 |
# prefixed by the word 'Australian' when referring to local times; |
2 | 994 |
# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC. |

26452 | 996 |
# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30): |
2 | 997 |
# |
26452 | 998 |
# Inspired by Mackin's remarks quoted above, earlier versions of this |
999 |
# file used "EST" for both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Summer |
|
1000 |
# Time in Australia, and similarly for "CST", "CWST", and "WST". |
|
1001 |
# However, these abbreviations were confusing and were not common |
|
1002 |
# practice among Australians, and there were justifiable complaints |
|
1003 |
# about them, so I attempted to survey current Australian usage. |
|
1004 |
# For the tz database, the full English phrase is not that important; |
|
1005 |
# what matters is the abbreviation. It's difficult to survey the web |
|
1006 |
# directly for abbreviation usage, as there are so many false hits for |
|
1007 |
# strings like "EST" and "EDT", so I looked for pages that defined an |
|
1008 |
# abbreviation for eastern or central DST in Australia, and got the |
|
1009 |
# following numbers of unique hits for the listed Google queries: |
|
2 | 1010 |
# |
26452 | 1011 |
# 10 "Eastern Daylight Time AEST" site:au [some are false hits] |
1012 |
# 10 "Eastern Summer Time AEST" site:au |

|
2 | 1024 |
# |
26452 | 1025 |
# I tried several other variants (e.g., "Eastern Summer Time EST") but |
1026 |
# they all returned fewer than 10 unique hits. I also looked for pages |
|
1027 |
# mentioning both "western standard time" and an abbreviation, since |
|
1028 |
# there is no WST in the US to generate false hits, and found: |
|
2 | 1029 |
# |
26452 | 1030 |
# 156 "western standard time" AWST site:au |
1031 |
# 226 "western standard time" WST site:au |
|
2 | 1032 |
# |
26452 | 1033 |
# I then surveyed the top ten newspapers in Australia by circulation as |
1034 |
# listed in Wikipedia, using Google queries like "AEDT site:heraldsun.com.au" |
|
1035 |
# and obtaining estimated counts from the initial page of search results. |
|
1036 |
# All ten papers greatly preferred "AEDT" to "EDT". The papers |
|
1037 |
# surveyed were the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail, |
|
1038 |
# The Sydney Morning Herald, The West Australian, The Age, The Advertiser, |
|
1039 |
# The Australian, The Financial Review, and The Herald (Newcastle). |
|
2 | 1040 |
# |
26452 | 1041 |
# I also searched for historical usage, to see whether abbreviations |
1042 |
# like "AEDT" are new. A Trove search <http://trove.nla.gov.au/> |
|
1043 |
# found only one newspaper (The Canberra Times) with a house style |
|
1044 |
# dating back to the 1970s, I expect because other newspapers weren't |
|
1045 |
# fully indexed. The Canberra Times strongly preferred abbreviations |
|
1046 |
# like "AEDT". The first occurrence of "AEDT" was a World Weather |
|
1047 |
# column (1971-11-17, page 24), and of "ACDT" was a Scoreboard column |
|
1048 |
# (1993-01-24, p 16). The style was the typical usage but was not |
|
1049 |
# strictly enforced; for example, "Welcome to the twilight zones ..." |
|
1050 |
# (1994-10-29, p 1) uses the abbreviations AEST/AEDT, CST/CDT, and |
|
1051 |
# WST, and goes on to say, "The confusion and frustration some feel |
|
1052 |
# about the lack of uniformity among Australia's six states and two |
|
1053 |
# territories has prompted one group to form its very own political |
|
1054 |
# party -- the Sydney-based Daylight Saving Extension Party." |

# The Transport Safety Bureau has an extensive series of accident reports, |

1081 |
# Googling site:atsb.gov.au found the following number of unique hits: |

|
2 | 1085 |
# |
26452 | 1086 |
# From the above it appears that there is a working consensus in |
1087 |
# Australia to use trailing "DT" for daylight saving time; although |
|
1088 |
# some sources use trailing "SST" or "ST" or "SuT" they are by far in |
|
1089 |
# the minority. The case for leading "A" is weaker, but since it |
|
1090 |
# seems to be preferred in the overall web and is preferred in all |
|
1091 |
# the leading newspaper websites and in many government departments, |
|
1092 |
# it has a stronger case than omitting the leading "A". The current |

1261 |
# ... it was just on four years ago that I drove along the Eyre Highway, |
|
1262 |
# which passes through eastern Western Australia close to the southern |
|
1263 |
# coast of the continent. |
|
1264 |
# |
|
1265 |
# I paid particular attention to the time kept there. There can be no |
|
1266 |
# dispute that UTC+08:45 was considered "the time" from the border |
|
1267 |
# village just inside the border with South Australia to as far west |
|
1268 |
# as just east of Caiguna. There can also be no dispute that Eucla is |
|
1269 |
# the largest population centre in this zone.... |
|
1270 |
# |
|
1271 |
# Now that Western Australia is observing daylight saving, the |
|
1272 |
# question arose whether this part of the state would follow suit. I |
|
1273 |
# just called the border village and confirmed that indeed they have, |
|
1274 |
# meaning that they are now observing UTC+09:45. |
|
1275 |
# |
|
1276 |
# (2006-12-09): |
|
1277 |
# I personally doubt that either experimentation with daylight saving |
|
1278 |
# in WA or its introduction in SA had anything to do with the genesis |
|
1279 |
# of this time zone. My hunch is that it's been around since well |
|
1280 |
# before 1975. I remember seeing it noted on road maps decades ago. |

1391 |
# On KQED's "City Arts and Lectures" program last night I heard an |

1392 |
# interesting story about daylight savings time. Dr. John Heilbron was |
|
1393 |
# discussing his book "The Sun in the Church: Cathedrals as Solar |
|

# Observatories"[1], and in particular the Shrine of Remembrance[2] located |
|
1395 |
# in Melbourne, Australia. |
|
1396 |
# |
|
1397 |
# Apparently the shrine's main purpose is a beam of sunlight which |
|
1398 |
# illuminates a special spot on the floor at the 11th hour of the 11th day |
|
1399 |
# of the 11th month (Remembrance Day) every year in memory of Australia's |
|
1400 |
# fallen WWI soldiers. And if you go there on Nov. 11, at 11am local time, |

# you will indeed see the sunbeam illuminate the special spot at the |
|
1402 |
# expected time. |
|
1403 |
# |
|

# Before 1920, all ships kept local apparent time on the high seas by setting |
2119 |
# their clocks at night or at the morning sight so that, given the ship's |
|
2120 |
# speed and direction, it would be 12 o'clock when the Sun crossed the ship's |
|
2121 |
# meridian (12 o'clock = local apparent noon). During 1917, at the |
|
2122 |
# Anglo-French Conference on Time-keeping at Sea, it was recommended that all |
|
2123 |
# ships, both military and civilian, should adopt hourly standard time zones |
|
2124 |
# on the high seas. Whenever a ship was within the territorial waters of any |
|
2125 |
# nation it would use that nation's standard time. The captain was permitted |
|
2126 |
# to change his ship's clocks at a time of his choice following his ship's |
|

# entry into another zone time - he often chose midnight. These zones were |

# adopted by all major fleets between 1920 and 1925 but not by many |
2129 |
# independent merchant ships until World War II. |
