Daylight saving Australia
Hi! Just thought you would like to know that next Sunday, 6th. October Easter Australia starts Daylight saving time. So your clock at the beginning of the site will be correct! I should mention that not every State has daylight saving. Still enjoying all the various forums. Cheers David Dickinson (Ex Orient Line and P&O)
