We got these changes from the Australian Antarctic Division:
- Macquarie Island will stay on UTC+11 for winter and therefore not
switch back from daylight savings time when other parts of Australia do
on 4 April.
- Casey station reverted to its normal time of UTC+8 on 5 March 2010.
The change to UTC+11 is being considered as a regular summer thing but
has not been decided yet.
- Davis station will revert to its normal time of UTC+7 at 10 March 2010
20:00 UTC.
- Mawson station stays on UTC+5.
In addition to the Rule changes for Casey/Davis, it means that Macquarie
will no longer be like Hobart and will have to have its own Zone created.
