I live in Queensland, what is daylight saving.

I mean, how can you save daylight????

Think of it this way:
If you want to make your blanket (sheet for you northerners) longer, you cut a length off the bottom and sew it to the top.
See, you have now made the blanket (sheet) longer by adding a piece to the top.

The same can be done with beach towels.....

.... and daylight.

Spoken like a true Queenslander.

There's not a day of the year the sun wakes me up - I'm always up before it shows. The closest it comes is the last couple of weeks where you can just see the sky lightening as I get home from my morning walk.

Funny you should say. Tom and I were discussing this very topic, today.
What time are you waking up tomorrow?

wouldn't it just be easier to keep the clocks the same and get up an hour earlier and do all the stuff you would like to do while it is still cool in the morning.

As for those that say there is a difference between the north and the south. Not really. Daylight savings makes more sense the further you are away from the equator. None of Australia is that far from the equator. Have a look at Northern Europe, there it makes more sense.
