-> Down under here in New Zealand,  we went into New Zealand Standard  
-> Time (GMT+13) on 19th March 2006 - and back in DST (GMT + 14) on  
-> 1st October 2006.  Don't know what, if any, sort of rule applies,  
-> but these were the 3rd Sunday in March and the 1st in October. 
  
The interesting thing is that these dates are much more symmetrical, 
compared with the solstices, equinoxes, etc, than the ones we use in 
the Northern Hemisphere. This makes sense, since the Equation of Time 
has a far greater effect in the northern winter than the southern one.
