(Note, though, that as I say in the 5272742Swollman# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers 5282742Swollman# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases 5292742Swollman# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times; 5302742Swollman# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC. 5312742Swollman 5322742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992): 5332742Swollman# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is: 5342742Swollman# CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30 5352742Swollman# WST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00 5362742Swollman# EST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00 5372742Swollman 53814343Swollman# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19): 5399908Swollman# Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand. 5409908Swollman# Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper 5419908Swollman# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00, 5429908Swollman# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970 5439908Swollman# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time. 54414343Swollman# For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960. 5452742Swollman 54643014Swollman# From Eric Ulevik <eau@zip.com.au> (1998-01-05): 54743014Swollman# 54843014Swollman# Here are some URLs to Australian time legislation.

Even that line 111658787Sru# has a rather arbitrary nature. The straight-line boundaries between Pacific 111758787Sru# island nations that are shown on many maps are based on an international 111858787Sru# convention, but are not legally binding national borders. 111958787Sru# 112058787Sru# An Anglo-French Conference on Time-Keeping at Sea (June, 1917) agreed that 112158787Sru# legal time on the high seas would be zone time, i.e., the standard time at 112258787Sru# the nearest meridian that is a multiple of fifteen degrees. The date is 112358787Sru# governed by the IDL; therefore, even on the high seas, there may be some 112458787Sru# places as late as fourteen hours later than UTC. And, since the IDL is not 112558787Sru# an international standard, there are some places on the high seas where the 112658787Sru# correct date is ambiguous. 1127
