-# From Jesper Norgaard <jnorgard@Prodigy.net.mx> (2000-09-04):
-# James Lonergan said that the island always tries to stay in sync
-# with the rest of NSW at all time except for the fact that they stay

-# literally, they should change clocks at the exact moment that

+# Lord Howe Island advances clocks by 30 minutes during DST in NSW and retards
+# clocks by 30 minutes when DST finishes. Since DST was most recently
+# introduced in NSW, the "changeover" time on the Island has been 02:00 as
+# shown on clocks on LHI. I guess this means that for 30 minutes at the start
+# of DST, LHI is actually 1 hour ahead of the rest of NSW.
