LOL, I did notice one thing in regard to a recent thread on IIS about daylight saving in Queensland. While the State is in favour of DST overall, the Far North is against it on numbers. I didn't give it much thought at the time, assuming that compelling reasons of some sort existed in FNQ.
Having been there I can't for the life of me understand the reasoning. Who wants sunlight streaming through the bedroom window at 5:30 in the morning, and who wants to be turning car headlights on at 6pm? We did a fair bit of touring and unless you made an early start
you simply ran out of daylight hours.
DST would seem to ideally suit FNQ with their shorter summer daylight hours, in fact far better than in the far south where daylight persists till 9:30 at night in midsummer! Or am I missing something???
Cheers -
