1. Go to Settings > My Settings > Time Zone.
2. You can see that this is set for UTC+10:00 Australia Victoria Time.
3. However, Australian Eastern Daylight time (AEDT) is UTC +11 so you expect C4C to show UTC +11.

The time zone dropdown at user settings shows a fixed list.

As this is a fixed list, the time zones descriptions are not adapted during daylight saving time.

Hence the name of the time zone always remains "(UTC+10:00) Australia Victoria Time".

The additional hour during daylight saving time in this region is added automatically without changing the description.

It's a usual convention to denote the difference in hours to UTC followed by a list of regions, cities, or countries. This list of regions then defines the corresponding daylight saving for this time zone.

Note; The same concept is for example also used by Microsoft Outlook.

When you open the calendar settings for Outlook, the time zone dropdown shows an entry "(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney".

Here the description also does not change during daylight saving time.
