Probably you asked someone from Sydney, & they told you what
their systems use.  Unix systems in Sydney do use AEST and AESST.
(I had wondered how it was that those zone names turned up in the
news code!).

However, the "standard" names in Aust (as defined by acts of Parliament)
are EST both ways, Sydney Uni & UNSW simply decided to ignore that,
I assume, because it conflicted with US EST.  EST is what is
conventionally used in newspapers, magazines, etc.
