I just wished it started earlier... most people would agree how difficult cricket training is in September with the light (the season starts on the first Sat of October)

I worked on the Bass Strait Ferry the Spirit of Tasmania a few years ago. I was onboard when Tasmania went to daylight savings a month before Victoria. Well for that month when we sailed to Tassie, we changed our clocks by 1 hour, then the next night we would change our clocks back to the original hour. So every night for a month we had clock changes with people having to get up at differant hours everyday. It caused people to suffer fatigue and actually got pretty dangerous near the end, which you don't want on a passenger ship.

Yes, the same thing happens when flying to Melbourne from Hobart. You leave Hobart at 2pm and arrive Melbourne at 2pm. Or you leave Melbourne at 2pm and arrive in Hobart at 4pm. Although it's just a one hour trip you actually lose an hour one way and gain an hour the other.
You wouldn't think just one hour would make a huge difference, but it completely stuffs up your body clock.

I like daylight savings, but the only thing that annoys me is waking up early everyday. Every day for the last week, without fail, I have woken up before my alarm.

That Shouldn't be because of daylight saving. The clocks were put forward an hour. Your body should be used to waking up and hour later.

Nope. My brother and sister in law used to live over in WA. We used to call them at 12:00 am DEST(9:00pm WA time) to do a check on my niece and nephew.

12AM till 9PM is a difference of 21 Hrs, get real, WA isn't in the good old U.S.A:rolleyes:
 
speaking of body clocks, apparantly it's much harder adjusting when you travel east. I'm yet to do that, but having said that, my first few nights here i was waking up at 2am and not getting back to sleep. only lasted 2-3 days though.

When will a WA government have the balls to introduce it, forget the referendum crap, everyone knows they always get defeated.:mad:

OK, we get woken up at 5am by the sun & the ****ing birds, so why can't it be 6am, total waste of an hour, then you get to work at 9, ring a company over East & hello, they are at lunch,
eventually you get a phone call back, then deal with your people here, have lunch & then try to contact the eastern states again, they have gone home.

Forget the curtains & the cows, bring in daylight saving. :mad:

I Concur. I have the same problem being the WA office of a national company it becomes impossible when the difference becomes 3 hours instead of 2.

I would also love the extra hour to get out after work and enjoy life a bit with some daylight.

I recover very quickly as I used to do some shift work with graveyards so I'm used to sleeping all hours, but it does hit you heading east more than west. The worst part is you don't actually suffer the real jet lag until after about 24 hours then it knocks the stuffing out of ya.

So something to look forward to nicko

Actually Suzi has this one right - 12AM is midnight, so 12AM back to 9PM is a three hour difference.

Seeing as Suzi lives in Ballarat and she was ringing people in WA a 3 hour difference is the correct description
