I 855# just called the border village and confirmed that indeed they have, 856# meaning that they are now observing UTC+09:45. 857# 858# (2006-12-09): 859# I personally doubt that either experimentation with daylight saving 860# in WA or its introduction in SA had anything to do with the genesis 861# of this time zone.
