Duplicate timezone with different name

According to the timezone information returned by TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones()

foreach (var tmp in TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones())
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", tmp.Id, tmp.BaseUtcOffset);
}

There are two timezones that look very similar:

E. Australia Standard Time: 10:00:00
AUS Eastern Standard Time: 10:00:00

AUS Eastern Standard Time is AEST...but what is E. Australia Standard Time? There is no mention of this timezone on wikipedia.

What is the difference from these timezones? Is E. Australia Standard Time a non-standard and unfamiliar name?

Change your test to

Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1} {2}", tmp.Id, tmp.BaseUtcOffset, 
                                  tmp.SupportsDaylightSavingTime);

E. Australia Standard Time does not support DST and is tagged as "Brisbane" which is in the east but does not use DST.
