Given that degree of latitude, why not just change the timezone of the
whole box?

Just because the machine is sitting in [NA]EST doesn't mean it has to be
told it's in New York or whatever. Just tell it that it's in
Australia/Sydney.

[ie change /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney and
echo "Australia/Sydney" >/etc/timezone]

Wouldn't that do the trick?
