  # IATA SSIM (1993-02/1994-09) say that the Holiday Islands (Hayman, Lindeman,
  # Hamilton) observed DST for two years after the rest of Queensland stopped.
  # Hamilton is the largest, but there is also a Hamilton in Victoria,
  # so use Lindeman.
  #
+ # From J William Piggott (2016-02-20):
+ # There is no location named Holiday Islands in Queensland Australia; holiday
+ # islands is a colloquial term used globally.  Hayman and Lindeman are at the
+ # north and south extremes of the Whitsunday Islands archipelago, and
+ # Hamilton is in between; it is reasonable to believe that this time zone
+ # applies to all of the Whitsundays.
