 # - Macquarie Island will stay on UTC+11 for winter and therefore not
 # switch back from daylight savings time when other parts of Australia do

+# The 1919 transition is overspecified below so pre-2013 zics

+# this is required for correct handling of times before 1916 by
+# pre-2013 versions of localtime.
