The Asia/Tokyo time zone seems to have been linked with Australia, probably
by mistake.
Please see this related difference from the zone1970.tab file, observed
when comparing 2024b and 2025a.

The Eyre Bird Observatory should probably be linked with an Australian time
zone instead of Asia/Tokyo.
Actually that line should be OK, as the Eyre Bird Observatory region
(unlike the rest of Australia) has observed Tokyo time since 1970.
The comments at the start of zone1970.tab say this about the "Eyre Bird
Observatory" in column 4:
# Comments; present if and only if countries have multiple timezones,
# and useful only for those countries. For example, the comments
# for the row with countries CH,DE,LI and name Europe/Zurich
# are useful only for DE, since CH and LI have no other timezones.
"Eyre Bird Observatory" is useful only for AU, since JP has no other
timezones; so this is another example of that column-4 idea.
