Re: DST
The farmers in the tropical north complained. The solution would be to divide the state into two zones above and below the tropic of capricorn. But how practical will that be?

Re: DST
I feed the kookaburras every afternoon. When daylight saving came in they started turning up at five o'clock instead of four o'clock. I never realised that wildlife was so smart, amazing.

Summer in QLD is unpleasant. Particularly when that glowing ball of nuclear fusion is visible in the sky. The best way to counter this - is to stay indoors at work in the AC for as long as possible and come out when the sun has dipped low enough for it to be safe to venture outside. If you're lucky, by the time you've got home and are prepared for the evening, the sun will have completely disappeared and its safe to venture outside for a game of tennis, walk the dog, do the gardening etc etc etc. Those rabid fans of DST seem keen to prolong the agony of sunlight for as long as possible in the evening forcing the sane members of society to cower indoors for an hour longer each day before we can go outside. I'm a big fan of proposing "MST" (Moonlight savings time) so we move the clocks an hour in the other direction for summer. That way instead of waiting until 7pm for the sun to dip and it to be safe to go outside, we can go out at 6pm and have that extra hour in the evening to do outdoor activities that are simply hazardous to do in the heat of the day. :D |
