# File AUtz.txt - Australian Time Zones.
# Pre-2008 info is mostly inaccurate or missing -
# I just haven't bothered with it.
#
# Assumes SA will keep in step with eastern states indefinitely,
# and WA will reject DST extension at 2009 referendum.
#
# To install on my system:
#
# # /usr/sbin/zic AUtz.txt
#
# Zone files will be installed in /usr/share/zoneinfo (depends
# on your distribution).
#
# You can then check for correctness, eg:
#
# # /usr/sbin/zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Canbera
#
# Then, either make a symbolic link from your zone to
# /etc/localtime, or overwrite /etc/localtime (whichever method
# for your distribution).
# Or graphically select one of the locations defined below.
