DST Australia & surroundings

[Oscar van Vlijmen]

Indeed, a short but good overview of the daylight saving times in several
parts of South Australia from 1999-2001:
http://www.sacentral.sa.gov.au/information/daylite.htm
"South Australia Central - Information & Community"

Much more information about the when, where and why can be found on the
page "Australia's Daylight Saving Times",
http://www.dstc.qut.edu.au/DST/marg/daylight.html

Please note that this page also gives detailed information about:
Lord Howe Island, Admiralty Islands, Mutton Bird Islands, Ball`s Pyramid,
Norfolk Island, Nepean and Phillip Island,Cocos (Keeling) Islands,
Christmas Island, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Heard Island, McDonald
Islands, Macquarie Island, Australian Antarctic Territory - Davis, Mawson,
Casey.
Interesting to note that this page confirms that the Macquarie Island
station follows Tasmania, including DST.

I would like to suggest that the tz file "australasia" should be updated
with this information, if the information is regarded to be true.
