We drove east for Christmas two years ago at the very time daylight  
saving started. Left Geraldton on Saturday, stayed overnight on Sunday  
at Mundaring, waking to clock forward an hour, left there Monday and  
spent the night at Norseman. The next day we wound the clock forward  
half an hour somewhere past Balladonia. At Border Village there are  
about 5 clocks showing the various time zones. Crossed the border into  
SA and then a bit later wound the clock forward another hour. The   
next day we drove from Clare to Mt Gambier then across the border into  
Vic to Portland. Wind the clock forward another half hour then. We  
were continually resetting the gps and the mobile phone times went  
crazy as it depended which transmitter was in range as to what times  
were shown.


On the way home of course, all was reversed, and we almost could see  
the sun rising in the west as we drove towards it in the very long  
drive from Border Village to Balladonia. We stayed there the night  
even though the sun didn't set until nearly 9! Kangaroos don't do  
daylight saving and we wanted to camp the night 'in the desert'!

HeHe

I seem to remember some "discussion" of this last year :o)

Personally, being an "Owl" rather than a "Lark", I will be glad to see the
end of "Winter Wowser Time" ;)

And at least the stock market won't close until 2:00pm now instead of 1:00
pm!

As always, it seems, people are either strongly "for" or strongly "against"
- not too many "don't cares".

I find  gives an interesting perspective on
how different regions apply local time relative to the  "true" geographic
time Zones.

And  educated me, since I
had no idea that Eucla had it's own WCT time zone!

Have fun!


Cheers

That's right Robert,
I lose an hour of daylight every morning because of this.

I was reading where a large cattle station in our north never goes  
onto daylight saving.
They don't change their clocks and they just continue their normal  
routine.
They said "it's never been a problem for us ... just adjust the  
times some others do things"
