It could be a lot worse.

China is a country that's wider than Australia; it covers the equivalent of four time zones (UTC+5 to UTC+8). The whole country is on Beijing time. Imagine waiting until 10 am for the sun to rise in winter, or waiting until midnight for the sun to set in summer. This happens in Western China.


It is not like that in China. 95% of China's population reside east of the middle of the country. Although 5% of 1.4 billion is still 70 million people, Beijing does not really give a damn about the western 2/3rds. They are a different ethnicity anyway.

I have lived in QLD for most of my life so its particularly annoying and silly now when its light at 830pm (kids dont wanna go to bed cause its light) and its friggin dark til late in the morning. Its stupid.

Where is that?

Early summer it's daylight at 4.30 am it's only just starting to stay a little darker until around 5 or just after now in February.


ACT and its at least 630 before it even starts getting light. Dont know what you are on about the 5am.

Take a look at your post where you state you have lived in QLD most of your life?

So you can see that didn't indicate you lived in the ACT.

I have lived in QLD all of my life .... currently on the Fraser Coast .....

DLS is completely unnecessary.

Even now it is daylight at 5 to 5.15 and sunrise this morning was 5.46 am.

If the caravan park states need to sleep off their hangovers another hour behind the unified business, industry and employment engine rooms of Australia - does it really matter ?

They could "work" on 1999 time - and I doubt the Australian economy would notice
