] 
] $ zdump -v Australia/Hobart | grep 2000
] Australia/Hobart  Sat Mar 25 15:59:59 2000 UTC = Sun Mar 26 02:59:59 2000 EST isdst=1
] Australia/Hobart  Sat Mar 25 16:00:00 2000 UTC = Sun Mar 26 02:00:00 2000 EST isdst=0
] Australia/Hobart  Sat Aug 26 15:59:59 2000 UTC = Sun Aug 27 01:59:59 2000 EST isdst=0
] Australia/Hobart  Sat Aug 26 16:00:00 2000 UTC = Sun Aug 27 03:00:00 2000 EST isdst=1

It would be nice if you could say
 $ zdump -y 2000 Australia/Hobart
and get the same output, especially if this was clearly documented
