+# Australia
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-12-08):
+# 
+# Implementation Dates of Daylight Saving Time within Australia
+#  summarizes daylight saving issues in Australia.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (2005-12-12):
+# 
+# Lawlink NSW:Daylight Saving in New South Wales
+#  covers New South Wales in particular.
+
+# From John Mackin (1991-03-06):
+# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time.
+# It is called `summer' time.  Now by a happy coincidence, `summer'
+# and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
+# abbreviation does _not_ change...
+# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
+# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
+# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
+# the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight
+# time'.
+# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
+# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time'
+# or `Eastern Summer Time'.  (Note, though, that as I say in the
+# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.)  Announcers
+# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
+# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times;
+# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (1992-03-08):
+# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:
+#	CST	for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
+#	WST	for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
+#	EST	for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00
+
+# From Chuck Soper (2006-06-01):
+# I recently found this Australian government web page on time zones:
+# 
+# And this government web page lists time zone names and abbreviations:
+# 
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-04-05), summarizing a long discussion about "EST"
+# versus "AEST" etc.:
+#
+# I see the following points of dispute:
+#
+# * How important are unique time zone abbreviations?
+#
+#   Here I tend to agree with the point (most recently made by Chris
+#   Newman) that unique abbreviations should not be essential for proper
+#   operation of software.  We have other instances of ambiguity
+#   (e.g. "IST" denoting both "Israel Standard Time" and "Indian
+#   Standard Time"), and they are not likely to go away any time soon.
+#   In the old days, some software mistakenly relied on unique
+#   abbreviations, but this is becoming less true with time, and I don't
+#   think it's that important to cater to such software these days.
+#
+#   On the other hand, there is another motivation for unambiguous
+#   abbreviations: it cuts down on human confusion.  This is
+#   particularly true for Australia, where "EST" can mean one thing for
+#   time T and a different thing for time T plus 1 second.
+#
+# * Does the relevant legislation indicate which abbreviations should be used?
+#
+#   Here I tend to think that things are a mess, just as they are in
+#   many other countries.  We Americans are currently disagreeing about
+#   which abbreviation to use for the newly legislated Chamorro Standard
+#   Time, for example.
+#
+#   Personally, I would prefer to use common practice; I would like to
+#   refer to legislation only for examples of common practice, or as a
+#   tiebreaker.
+#
+# * Do Australians more often use "Eastern Daylight Time" or "Eastern
+#   Summer Time"?  Do they typically prefix the time zone names with
+#   the word "Australian"?
+#
+#   My own impression is that both "Daylight Time" and "Summer Time" are
+#   common and are widely understood, but that "Summer Time" is more
+#   popular; and that the leading "A" is also common but is omitted more
+#   often than not.  I just used AltaVista advanced search and got the
+#   following count of page hits:
+#
+#     1,103 "Eastern Summer Time" AND domain:au
+#       971 "Australian Eastern Summer Time" AND domain:au
+#       613 "Eastern Daylight Time" AND domain:au
+#       127 "Australian Eastern Daylight Time" AND domain:au
+#
+#   Here "Summer" seems quite a bit more popular than "Daylight",
+#   particularly when we know the time zone is Australian and not US,
+#   say.  The "Australian" prefix seems to be popular for Eastern Summer
+#   Time, but unpopular for Eastern Daylight Time.
+#
+#   For abbreviations, tools like AltaVista are less useful because of
+#   ambiguity.  Many hits are not really time zones, unfortunately, and
+#   many hits denote US time zones and not Australian ones.  But here
+#   are the hit counts anyway:
+#
+#     161,304 "EST" and domain:au
+#      25,156 "EDT" and domain:au
+#      18,263 "AEST" and domain:au
+#      10,416 "AEDT" and domain:au
+#
+#      14,538 "CST" and domain:au
+#       5,728 "CDT" and domain:au
+#         176 "ACST" and domain:au
+#          29 "ACDT" and domain:au
+#
+#       7,539 "WST" and domain:au
+#          68 "AWST" and domain:au
+#
+#   This data suggest that Australians tend to omit the "A" prefix in
+#   practice.  The situation for "ST" versus "DT" is less clear, given
+#   the ambiguities involved.
+#
+# * How do Australians feel about the abbreviations in the tz database?
+#
+#   If you just count Australians on this list, I count 2 in favor and 3
+#   against.  One of the "against" votes (David Keegel) counseled delay,
+#   saying that both AEST/AEDT and EST/EST are widely used and
+#   understood in Australia.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
+# Shanks & Pottenger report 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and NZ.
+# Mark Prior writes that his newspaper
+# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00,
+# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970
+# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time.
+# For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960.

+# WA are trialing DST for three years.
+# 
+
+# From Rives McDow (2002-04-09):
+# The most interesting region I have found consists of three towns on the
+# southern coast....  South Australia observes daylight saving time; Western
+# Australia does not.  The two states are one and a half hours apart.  The
+# residents decided to forget about this nonsense of changing the clock so
+# much and set the local time 20 hours and 45 minutes from the
+# international date line, or right in the middle of the time of South
+# Australia and Western Australia....
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2002-04-09):
+# This is confirmed by the section entitled
+# "What's the deal with time zones???" in
+# .
+#
+# From Alex Livingston (2006-12-07):
+# ... it was just on four years ago that I drove along the Eyre Highway,
+# which passes through eastern Western Australia close to the southern
+# coast of the continent.
+#
+# I paid particular attention to the time kept there. There can be no
+# dispute that UTC+08:45 was considered "the time" from the border
+# village just inside the border with South Australia to as far west
+# as just east of Caiguna. There can also be no dispute that Eucla is
+# the largest population centre in this zone....
+#
+# Now that Western Australia is observing daylight saving, the
+# question arose whether this part of the state would follow suit. I
+# just called the border village and confirmed that indeed they have,
+# meaning that they are now observing UTC+09:45.
+#
+# (2006-12-09):
+# I personally doubt that either experimentation with daylight saving
+# in WA or its introduction in SA had anything to do with the genesis
+# of this time zone.  My hunch is that it's been around since well
+# before 1975.  I remember seeing it noted on road maps decades ago.

+
+# Until 1941 Tonga maintained a standard time 50 minutes ahead of NZST

+# standard time in 1940s, Tonga had the choice of subtracting from its
+# local time to come on the same standard time as New Zealand or of
+# advancing its time to maintain the differential of 13 degrees
+# (approximately 50 minutes ahead of New Zealand time).
+#
+# Because His Majesty King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, then Crown Prince
+# Tungi, preferred to ensure Tonga's title as the land where time
+# begins, the Legislative Assembly approved the latter change.
+#
+# But some of the older, more conservative members from the outer
+# islands objected. "If at midnight on Dec. 31, we move ahead 40
+# minutes, as your Royal Highness wishes, what becomes of the 40
+# minutes we have lost?"

+
+# From Arthur David Olson (1999-09-20):
+# According to  (2005-08-31):
+# Before 1920, all ships kept local apparent time on the high seas by setting
+# their clocks at night or at the morning sight so that, given the ship's
+# speed and direction, it would be 12 o'clock when the Sun crossed the ship's
+# meridian (12 o'clock = local apparent noon).  During 1917, at the
+# Anglo-French Conference on Time-keeping at Sea, it was recommended that all
+# ships, both military and civilian, should adopt hourly standard time zones
+# on the high seas.  Whenever a ship was within the territorial waters of any
+# nation it would use that nation's standard time.  The captain was permitted
+# 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
+# independent merchant ships until World War II.
