 Correct.  Some cities/states had different DST rules applied.  Not just
on/off, but different periods over the year.  It led to some pretty
weird interstate phone calls, even if you lived in the same timezone.

 The idea was to standardise DST *dates* across the country.  Well, for
the areas that still want it ...

 Correct.  I could have listed all cities, however, it would turn the
timezone file into one very hefty document.
 In this instance, I list only the largest area that is applicable (in
this case states) and "Broken Hill" separately.  I had to do that
because technically, Broken Hill is physically located in New South
Wales, but is placed in the same timezone as South Australia.
 For all other cities, place them into the relevant state, and it'll work.

 If you're interested, you will need to verify this yourself.  Australia
has no dictate on the DST adjustments on Guam.

 On the very short googling I've done this morning, Guam does not
observe DST, it merely shares the same timezone as some of our states.
It appears under US control anyway, so if anyone is going to change
that, it's not Australia. ;-)
