If someone can clarify the question, I can ask my boss, who sits at the next desk to me and is a Queenslander.
More to the point, he's from Brisbane and so knows the area (unlike, say, someone from Cairns).
The question is how to describe, in the form of brief commentary, the islands where holiday operators chose to observe daylight-saving time for a couple of years after summer 1992, even though Queensland officially stopped observing DST that year. For a bit more about this, please see:

which says "the IATA SSIM ... says that the Holiday Islands (Hayman, Lindeman, Hamilton) observed DST through 1993/1994."
He says that everyone calls them "The Whitsundays" and he's never heard the term "the Holiday Islands". -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: clive@davros.org | it will get its revenge. Web: http://www.davros.org | - Henry Spencer Mobile: +44 7973 377646
