Yes, the clocks do go back an hour. Yes, it does get dark quite early towards the end of June, maybe five-thirtyish or sixish, around there.

I was wondering the same. :confused: :blink:

Is there a government site where we can see when to change clocks? I'm way too lazy to go and search. :rofl:

The clocks go forward in summer, in winter they go back to normal time.

We were getting up in the dark at 7am in North Shore and I hated it.

There's no 'summer time' here though, I think it's a year-round concept ;)
