Thanks Arthur, I think you are right, the problem I am having looks like it is related to joda-time. Cheers Matt Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] wrote:

I tried five recent versions of "australasia" and they all yielded a March 30 transition in 2008. All recent versions of "backward" link "Australia/West" to "Australia/Perth." It seems as if this is a twiki.org challenge rather than a tz database challenge. I've listed the "backward" and "australasia" versions I looked at below.

According to the tz database (http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/xtra/tzdate?tz=Australia/West) daylight savings in the Australia/West timezone ended on 11th March 2008 but the actual end date is 30th March 2008.
