Reminder: Daylight Savings Starts This Weekend

Reminder: Daylight Savings Starts This Weekend

This long weekend we will be once again proving that time is meaningless by bending it to the will of humans.

Daylight savings 2019-2020 is kicking off, and these are the details.

Unlike last year, we will start controlling time in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT over the Labour Day long weekend.

At 02:00am on Sunday October 6 the time will jump forward to 03:00am. Daylight savings will then run until Sunday April 5 where at 03:00am the clocks will pop back to 02:00am.

Because many of us are slaves to technology at this point, your internet-connected devices should make these changes for you automatically, but best double check so you’re not accidentally late for something.
