Australian Day Light time changes during 2006
I got a Windows update today. The update is for changes to Australian Day light time changes during 2006 on account of Commomwealth Games.
Daylight saving time for 2006
For the year 2006 only, the official daylight saving time transition dates for each state in Australia are as follows:
State name Original date New date
Victoria March 26, 2006 April 2, 2006

Note At 3:00 A.M. on the day that daylight saving time changes to standard time, clocks are moved back one hour.
The change to daylight saving time will affect the transition settings for the following time zone rules:
• (GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
• (GMT+10:00) Hobart
• (GMT+09:30) Adelaide
This was a news to me as I did not know this. The udpate can be downloaded from here. This will only apply for year 2006.
