I have a question about the darker evenings. My OH and I hate winter - we can cope with the weather but hate the fact that we go to work and it's dark and we come home and it's dark. How early does it get dark in Melbourne and how do people find it?
Yep, we noticed this in Brisbane too, we were even at our cousins and about 9:30pm she started clearing up and we guessed it was time for us to go back to our apartment LOL We went to Noosa for the day and thought we would have a nice evening meal there to, we did but there was hardly anyone else about!
I did wonder 'where is the atmosphere', but I suppose we will get used to it and enjoy the weekend at day-time!
in WA its pitch black by 6.30pm but that's after the clocks went back last week. during the summer it didn't get dark until 8.30/9 pm, it was a shock to us when we got here but you get used to it and the mornings are light really early during the summer so you'll find you are up and out earlier than you would be back in the UK as it gorgeous outside and it gets too hot by 2/3pm to sit in the sun you have to get things done earlier in the day and then sit in the alfresco area after 2 and chill out until it cools down at 8pm
me too sat here in my joggers and a hooded top bbbrrrr then again its pouring with rain outside and there's thunder and lightening.........typical when the hubby is working up in Perth and I'm all on my own but boy these crisps and chocolate taste good......

Don't bother with bloomin' Queensland- no daylight savings!!! Dark early all year round!!! We sit outside sometimes, having our evening meal, with the patio light on and the citronella candle burning. Very poor. Don't get up any earlier though to compensate!
