You are lucky stsae,you are on the right side of the border so your curtains wont fade

It's funny though a few years ago i wanted to do a tour of Tropical Fruit World which is well inside the NSW border but they were running their tours on QLD time but a few years earlier i went to some attraction on the Gold Coast and i thought i had missed a show or had to wait around for the next one but they were running on NSW time so i did not miss it.I can really see how it is confusing living on the NSW/QLD border area with the time differences.

come on, tell everyone how disappointing tropical fruit world is?! what a tourist sting it is!!!!!

if they are gonna do it, i think they just need to put the clocks forward permanently an hour. otherwise i really dont see the need for it anyway

We thought of going there, and then imagined how bored the kids, and FC would have got so we went looking for Gloworms instead......Much better idea, I must say.....

2 weeks to go until it ends.

I love DST. We wake early in Summer anyway, so it's good to be able to get to shops etc before the main heat of the day.
I agree that in a country like Oz it wouldn't hurt to leave it all year round. Dark starts for the workers, but the days would seem less bleak in the evenings.

Just love daylight saving. Enables some of us oldies to get out and enjoy a bit of touch footie in the summer evenings ..right Billy ?

The only disincentive (other than fading the curtains) is the extra hour of sunlight causes skin cancer !

Wake up to yourself Nick,next week the confusion begins.
Some of us like daylight savings

19 days more until daylight saving ends. Personally, I absolutely despise it because it is so confusing. I always wonder can't they just have it all year around or not have it at all?

If you think it is confusing now Nick,wait till you get older,it gets harder

Actually never went Fitzy because it coincided with daylight savings and Melbourne Cup day so they could only open for two hours
Actually for a tourist sting how is Currambin[sp?] Sanctuary,Taronga Zoo is cheaper and gives more to animal conservation but at the same time i will not be critical of Currambin because the proceeds do go to conservation ,but ouch $40 almost for a fifth of what you can see at Taronga at the almost the same price.
Not complaining though because conservation of a lot of species of animals far overides the stupid things that us humans have done to decimate the natural populations of these creatures and money should not be a deciding factor to keep these beautiful animals which are truly a gift to us on this god forsaken planet safe.

[Guest]

that is correct.Sunrise in Sydney this morning was 7.06 am.Without daylight savings,it would have been 8.06 am

[Guest]

and you guys still crow about the benefits of day light saving?? why even bother?

[horrie hastings]

Correct me if i'm wrong but we put our clocks forward an hour when day light savings start so if we had sunrise at 7.06 this morning without daylight savings would'nt sunrise then be 6.06 am.
