    Agree.

    Actually, I would support daylight saving in Queensland - but only in winter!
    Hate it getting dark around 5.30pm

    :confused: So you'd be quite happy to be getting up and sending the kids to school before dawn?

    Latest sunrise is around 06:40 and sunset around 17:00 (for Brisvegas) for winter and 04:45 and 19:00 in summer.

    Who gets up before 5am vs how many people are up at 19:00 or 20:00? (New VB parents excepted).

    I thought they'd be XXXX parents. Which is the chromosome of a Queenslander ;-)

    Would be quite happy to have DST across the summer months only (Dec, Jan, Feb).
    Having it run from October through to April is too long. I prefer it to be light earlier in the morning rather than at 8.30 at night.
