From the stream of Radio National at abc.net.au it appears that NSW,
Victoria and ACT are now on +11/Australian Eastern Summer Time. Tasmania went ahead on the first Sunday in October, Queensland is staying on +10, Southern Australia is going on +10, the Northern Territory is staying on +9 and, according to http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/ Western Australia will go on an experimental summer time (+9) on 1 Dec. Of course, Europe is going off summer time at 0100 GMT Sunday (so France back to +1 and England back to GMT) and those areas in the U.S. and Canada which are on DST go off next Sunday at 2 A.M. local. Hmm - interestjng - according to that website, Eastern Indiana went "double daylight" from 2006. The farmers in Eastern Indiana have always fought against Eastern Daylight Time as "double daylight", saying that Indianapolis belongs geographically on Central time so having Eastern Standard Time is the equivalent of year-around DST. In Queensland, Australia, on the other hand, the farmers won over the people on the "gold coast" who wanted summer time. But my XP time applet still has a separate entry for Indiana time. I suppose that the Windows update took care of adding DST to the Indiana zone without changing its existence as a separate zone. |
