Elliott-Family Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi With the uk now enjoying an extra hour of sunshine (well daylight) I wondered what time it gets dark in Melbourne of an evening, i know its earlier than the uk but wondered how much earlier and if it stops you doing anything? cheers Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 We are due to change the clocks next weekend and I expect it will be getting dark about 6. In the morning its still dark at 7 but next week it will be light thank goodness. Way too long this daylight saving now. We sit outside in the evening if its warm enough and has been just recently. Mossies come around at this time of the year which is a problem but there are lots of products around to keep them at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest proud2beaussie Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Petals is pretty spot on with her comments, at this time of year ,with no daylight saving in Melbourne it gets dark about 6PM,in the middle of winter,in July and August it's probably dark by about 5.30-5.40?,certainly isn't as bad as when I was in London last winter when it was dark by 5.00 ! but then UK summer time makes up for it when it's still light at 10.

Elliott-Family Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 goodness thats early, what on earth do people do in the evenings? Do childrens activites (footie, cricket, swimming) etc still carry on or does everything just stop? Cheers Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
