To add some details & questions: see my posting from 2005-05-03
Alex: reading your story, Cocklebiddy _is_ indeed in the CWAT zone?
And can we be sure of Caiguna?

"At Caiguna, W.A (about 350km from the W.A/S.A border) you switch
to "Perth" time..."

This means that Caiguna is NOT on CWAT time (UTC+8:45), but the following
villages are:
Border Village (South Australia)
Eucla
Mundrabilla
Madura
Cocklebiddy

The last one, Cocklebiddy, is my interpretation. It just lies in the
Nuytsland Natural Reserve, but it could well be in the CWAT timezone. Does
anybody know?
