I think its just SE Qld near the border and in the city that actually keep pushing for it here.</p> <p>I'll be honest, I hope we NEVER have to do it while I have kids! When I was at school during the trial phase, we would be leaving school at 3pm on the clock, but 2pm real time - the hottest part of the day, in the skin cancer capital of the world... so picture a whole school of kids forced out into the sun, onto hot, unair conditioned buses for 45 min bus trips home, then another 2 km bike ride home from the bus stop (I lived in a rural area at the time!), and then being asked to go to bed at 7.30-8pm by the clock, but it still being daylight outside! It was positively awful and I can remember every single parent commenting on how we were all extra exhausted and cranky because we were out in that extreme heat and had our sleeping patterns all messed up!</p> <p>And besides, I don't see it as any different to South Australia and Northern Territory being on a different time zone to us, and then Western Australia being yet another time zone! I used to work for a company that had head office in WA and it was not a drama at all - occasionally you'd forget and call early and get the answering machines, but it sure didn't effect our business. </p> <p>Ooops I tend to get a little emotional about this because even now - 20 odd years later its still really vivid in my memory! </p> <p>(Can you tell I really hate being outside in the middle of the day and know that my precious little Miss G who has translucent white skin - exactly like her dad who has had severe cancers removed and is lucky to be alive - would not cope at all in the heat, regardless of covering up and sun protection etc!)</p> <p>I'll get off my soap box now ROFL!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-do-the-clocks-change-in-spring-and-autumn-in-your-country#post-242927 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 09:16:28 +0000 nicole470 242927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somebody told me the other day why QLD doesn't have daylight savings time, but I can't remember why....<br /> What does Tweed Heads do (for the non Aussies - Tweed Heads is on the border of Queensland and New South Wales) - do they stay open till 6pm NSW time to continue trading with QLD??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-do-the-clocks-change-in-spring-and-autumn-in-your-country#post-242919 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 08:00:09 +0000 RoseandJoan 242919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That must get very confusing puffenstuff and NK, international business must also leave people scratching their heads. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-do-the-clocks-change-in-spring-and-autumn-in-your-country#post-242840 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 03:23:06 +0000 puffenstuff 242840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have Daylight Savings in Oz, in most states except for QLD where I live which is annoying.</p> <p><a href="http://australia.gov.au/about-australia/our-country/time#DaylightSavingTime" rel="nofollow">http://australia.gov.au/about-.....SavingTime</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-do-the-clocks-change-in-spring-and-autumn-in-your-country#post-242617 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 23:08:44 +0000 NK 242617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I never thought about that! Poor doggie!</p> <p>Another Arizonan here, so it doesn't change for us, but half the year we're Pacific and the other half we're on Mountain time. I sometimes have to ask my husband which time we're on because I don't want to bug my friends and family living in different states by calling them too early or late. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-do-the-clocks-change-in-spring-and-autumn-in-your-country#post-242503 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 19:39:37 +0000 Kari 242503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, and my dog - who practically has a clock built into her stomach - cannot understand why she is no longer getting her dinner at what SHE thinks is 6:00! We have to gradually transition her towards the time change - dinner at 5:15, then 5:30, then 5:45... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-do-the-clocks-change-in-spring-and-autumn-in-your-country#post-242445 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:20:56 +0000 Lisa 242445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-do-the-clocks-change-in-spring-and-autumn-in-your-country#post-242443 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:19:37 +0000 Marley 242443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate it when the clocks fall back!
