Daylight Saving in Brisbane
 

Hi All,

What i would like to know is what time of the evening does it get dark in or around the Brisbane area.

Well i suppose i would like to know about it at different times of the year. Someone told me that it gets dark very early, is that correct?

About 5.15 in winter Jun jul etc and about 7.15 in mid summer dec jan. It is light about 4am in summer tho, very useful not, but nice and cool if you want to do stuff.

All the southerners and OS people moving here mean noises are being made about daylight saving again, but somehow I doubt it will come in. Genuine qlds dont want it, reckon its hot enough without adding to it at the end of the day, an argument I never really got because it does not cool down that much at night in mid summer anyway. Perhaps all the Poms coming out should start a daylight saving campaign. " Poms for daylight " should go down a treat :D

Heres a web site that gives sunrise and sunset times anywhere.

I heard one of the big arguments against Qld having daylight saving was because it faded your curtains!

Dont forget it the cows would still be asleep at milking time
:D

Theres a letter in a newspaper yesterday, saying how difficult it would be to get to work at 7am if we had daylight saving :confused: couldnt quite get that either, considering even with DS it would still be light just after 5am, surely it cant take 2 hours even with slip slop slap:D

Thanks to all, i suppose the benefit that you have with the sunshine been so early is that you can make an early start to the day, espeacilly at the weekend.

Hope to be there soon.

We have found that we wake up early and go to bed earlier than we did in the UK. Some of the shops open earlier and you will see people out power walking or dog walking at 5 AM!!!

It would be nicer in the Summer if they had Daylight saving.But some people are a bit backwards up here and think it means you lose an hour of the day:D :cool: There seems to be a debate on it in the local paper and I just chuckle at their excuses.

As it is Australia in summer has at least 5 different time zones with WA being over 2 hours behind the east coast.

Qld had several referendums over the years and as 99.9% of referendums are defeated the government said that it would not happen again. All referendums were had during the previous conservative gov't and the strongest negative response was from country areas and Nth Qld tourist areas. However, it is a pain if you are trying to reach businesses in NSW and Vic, and find they have gone home. :)

Hi,

Yeah, i can understand that, i dont think it is going to be a problem, i just wanted to know, roughly, at what time did it get dark, as someone had mentioned it to me some time ago, and i just remembered lately about it.

Thanks for all your replies.
