Daylight Saving Ends
Sunday 3 April 2011, at 3:00 am summer time when clocks are put back one hour.

Queensland and the Northern Territory do not participate in Daylight Saving.

From 2008 the ACT, NSW, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania will all start daylight savings on the first Sunday in October and end on the first Sunday in April. This will result in an extra month of daylight saving for the ACT and introduces common start and finish dates in these states. The Daylight Saving Trial in Western Australia has now ended, and any extension of Daylight Saving was rejected by  2009 referendum.

I would have preferred it to finish sooner. Its too dark in the mornings to go for a walk or bike ride. I'm not into daylight saving any more and find it a nuisance and disruptive. Will be glad when we go back on normal time.

Love the concept....but am now glad it's over. Would love it to start earlier in Summer...longer balmier nights but needs to finish by now. The nights are cooler and we're inside anyway....Maybe late October to mid March...smilies/kiss.gif

It doesn't get dark any earlier, its just later when you realise it. That's the kicker.

Daylight Savings is always such an adjustment in our house - it does feel strange when it gets darker earlier!
