And let’s not forget to put clocks and watches FORWARD one hour when daylight saving resumes on Sunday October 7.

(It concludes Sunday April 7 2013).

It only seems yesterday (2008 in fact) that the State Government undertook community consultation as part of extended daylight saving arrangements as SA moved into line with similar arrangements in the eastern states.

The consultation indicated 59% of the community supported the extension – 25% opposed it – and 16% either supported it or opposed extended periods!
