    Love it, going for a surf at around 8 at night after a long hot day is great.

    I love it....an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day means more work i can do. I'm a lazy bugger and don't get off my a$$ until lunchtime sometimes (i only work casual thats why im home a lot), so yeah an extra hour is wicked.

    after growing up in nsw and having it there, then moving to wa and not having it here just befuddled me, no wonder this state is wait awhile...

    it is the best damn thing to happen so far in this state, we have some of the best beaches, coastline, diving, fishing, snorkeling, kite surfing, surfing, boating, beach side parks with bbq's, kings park etc etc etc.....and an extra 1 hour of sunlight during summer just allows us to enjoy it even more.

    any more of as reason why WA shouldn't have it...c'mon fellow sandgroppers, come referendum time, make sure your voices are heard to those who want it.

    to those that despise it, get a life outside!! there is no genuine arguement for the negative - imho...!

    So you are saying that even the sun sleeps in because it doesn't like it?
