Al, can you explain this? The PC clock is showing 17:21 Sydney daylight saving.
If I run your program with "Use TZ" I get 22:43 sidereal.

If I switch to "Use Long" with 150deg 59" 40' E I get 20:47 sidereal, which matches the value from http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/sidereal.html

Daylight saving sign error somewhere?
