Well, we're in Melbourne, therefore further south. In mid-winter it get dark after at about 5:30. Cuurently, it is getting dark about 6:30. So given your target locations are nearer the equator, it will not be as 'bad' as that.

Winter in Brissy gets dark bout 5 ish
But later in Summer
Possibly bit later on Coast
QLD wont agree to DST cos they reckon we have enough sunshine hrs in the day already

It also drops dark very suddenly in the North and near the tropics.

Gets dark by 7.30 ish in the summer here, and there is no twilight, its a very quick transition from day to night.

In winter it is a bout 6 and in summer about 8, it just goes dark very quickly.
You dont get the light nights til 10 like in the UK , but the sun is out so early , your in bed for about 9 anyway [well we are]. Denise
