to be honest Poll, after having it for 1 summer here I can't say I would vote for it when the time comes. I didn't feel I gained anything by having an extra hour of daylight and towards the end of the summer it was pitch black in the morning when I got up which I hated even more.

I don't finish work until 5pm here in Cairns. Takes me 1/2 an hour to get home, it's dark by 6:30 !

BUT...I'm not so sure that it was so good in the end - mainly because the heat stayed around for so much longer in the day.
On balance it's probably a good thing because there aren't too many days in Perth when the heat is unbearable but those 40 plus days when it's still in the mid 30s at 7pm were a bit of an eye opener for die-hard DLS people like myself.

Hear, hear .... sod the cows and curtains!!! Don't wanna be up at 5am to enjoy the "extra hour's sunshine" at the beginning of the day like all the Queenslanders do! They're all in bed by 8pm. Let's have a life in this joint and tack in on the end of the day to enjoy instead!!

Re: When does it start to get warmer?
I know we are from the UK but........... got here 8 weeks ago and everyone is saying it's the coldest winter in a long time - granted it gets a bit chilly in the evening and morning but the days are lovely.
But when is 'winter' over and it gets warm enough to sit outside after work?
We have a barbie all ready but gets too dark n cold early to use it yet.
Also have lots of summer clothes we brought over and not used yet as we foolishly thought we wouldn't need anything warm.......

until we live here that is.I think Sept time is when it starts to get better. Although Brissy is supposed to humid all year round.
Turning the clocks back was really good last year as the nights were longer to party
