Hiya all,
doing some research on Brisbane, noticed that it starts getting dark around 19:00 in summer?
Am I right in saying that the winter days are longer?????


All the Best for 2006

Outside the tropics winter days are always shorter, not longer.

It may get dark early but it is also light earlier in the morning, and I like that as I hate getting up in the dark.

The Brisbane winter days are longer than the UK winter days.

The Brisbane winter days are shorter than the Brisbane summer days.

And Brisbane summer daylight hours are shorter than UK summer daylight hours but as Amanda said, its gets lighter in the morning earlier (in both summer & winter) .

MartinLuther

Agree with you and Amanda completely.

I wasn't clear on what the OP was comparing to so I though I would give both answers.
