Daylight saving

Canyonero · 09-10-2008, 05:39 PM

I know I am a pedant, but I noticed my last post had the wrong time coding. It was one hour out and showed the standard time, not the daylight saving time that is now current in NSW, ACT, Vic and Tas.
Is this something that the moderators can fix?

Very bottom of these pages tells you the time. Currently GMT + 11 hours = current Daylight savings time.

allypally · 09-10-2008, 08:22 PM

What in Qld or WA? Would you be asking the same question?

**Jastel** · 09-10-2008, 09:25 PM

I'm in Qld, GMT+10, like it should be.

Still wish we could have daylight saving up here. But the cows don't know when to get milked and the curtains fade with the extra light :monkes:

Why on earth would I want to live in Qld or WA?

allypally · 10-10-2008, 08:28 AM

Ahhhhh.... That explains all then.

As usual, I don't read the fine print.
Thank for that info.

PS. I've been to WA and Qld many times and love the visits I've made, but home and family are in Sydney, so that's were I'll stay.

Well we don't want you either !!! We have enough of your folk moving up here. Bloody cockroaches

i hate trying to tell time. im a hypochondriac and therefore think im dyslexic, so i dont believe i can tell time. i just try and be half and hour earlier for everything, and when i post on forums i dont even look at the time i posted cos it hardly matters after ive posted it.

Wash your mouth out! Daylight saving is a joke, I'm glad Queensland doesn't have it & everywhere else should wake up to the joke and drop it

Daylight saving works well for places that are closer to the poles than the equator.

If you look at the whole world and where daylight saving is implemented, has been implemented and now discontinued or has never been implemented you will find that almost all of the countries that observe daylight saving are a above cancer or below capricorn.

Australia is very large and the relative lengths of night and day are quite different depending on latitude.

Simply put, daylight saving will always be a pain in QLD due to its position and shape.

There are now and always will be time zone differences between the eastern, central and western areas so having NSW/VIC/TAS different to QLD is no big deal.

P.S. I found a map to demonstrate this.

Well, next time I want to go back to 1959, I'll come and visit the Sunshine Coast!

I started this thread so long ago I forgot about it. I never thought that it would return as an avenue for frustrated banana benders to express their rage and prejudices. Lighten up boys.

How do you figure that????

In 1959 Sydney was a nice place with clean air and beaches not covered with needles. Almost everyone spoke english and those who didn't were learning so they could integrate happily with their new chosen country.
There were not fixed speed cameras, random shootings, homeless people all over the place, home invasions, car jackings and people smiled.
When you met a pretty girl at a pub she was actually born a girl and having a few too many beers did not mean you would wake up in hospital with your money stolen, a bruised face and a sore bum.
Traffic was not a smash up derby and you could travel several suburbs in a couple of minutes not a couple of hours.

Oh I see what you mean......

**buggerlugs** · 08-04-2009, 06:29 PM

Yeah , I'm with my fellow Banana Bender on this one ^^^^^^ Stick that in ya pipe and smoke it , and yer still a bloody cockroach !!!

Canyonero · 08-04-2009, 06:53 PM

Lighten up boys, you watch too much tabloid TV. The Sydney you describe is not the one I know. I not sure what sort of pubs you visit either. I've only ever woken up with a sore head.

smacxr8 · 08-04-2009, 08:01 PM

Id be willing to bet my left one that if NSW didnt have daylight savings most Qld'ers wouldnt have a problem with having it. As these past few very comical posts would prove. Dont get me wrong ive lived in brisbane for just over 10 years now and i love it, but god i miss daylight savings, most qld'ers who are that patriotic to sling crap at other states were most likely born here and havent lived with daylight savings and dont know how good it is. Each to there own.

RG · 08-04-2009, 08:05 PM

Come on guys, no need for the NSW/QLD stuff.

Let's just go back to the usual SA bagging

Someone had a good time in Sydney...., while I recognise the place is a little bit different from other towns in Aus, too put it mildly.. there are plenty of people here from "your" part of Australia. I'm a country boy who moved here at 18 and have found a place for a Ford loving V8 Die hard... for those of you looking to visit, yet a little bit worried, drop a line, I'll point you in the right direction..

Daylight saving is fine yeah right;

If you want to have daylight saving in Victoria have it in winter not summer
getting dark at 6 pm in winter here in QLD but getting dark at 5 pm in Vic
and who wants to (water the lawn of play golf at 8 pm in summer)
the sun comes up and the sun goes all by itself just down leave it alone
like we do in Queensland
and what about WA Ive been to Halls creek in January and it gets dark at 4 pm in the middle of summer
just let it happen

say....that....again?

seriously though, daylight savings is sweet IMO. party season starts when daylight savings does. and ends when daylight savings does. woot. nothing better than a balmy summer evening in december at 8.00pm with the light still around and a cold beer.
