You say it isn't a local clock issue, yet the time zones are flipping
within your LAN.  AFAIK, Adelaide is GMT+1030 in summer time.  The only
time I've seen time zone incorrectness like this was when some systems,
at the office I worked at, had some UID's that would alter the TZ
environment variable.  Made troubleshooting time sensitive transactions
a real bitch.

I'm especially not fond of systems that use alpha designations for time
zones.  CST, is that "Central Standard Time (USA)", "China Standard
Time", or ?   :-)
