Actually thats not all that inaccurate. The ABC and SBS news is often 2 or 3 hours behind anyway because of the time difference betwen states and they don't always have a local news reader. If Rocket Man lets one go, we will probably hear about it on SBS news about half an hour after the bang... or maybe we wont hear it at all.

When you here about the bomb being let off on the news of various channels, it would`ve been used two or three times and that`s what recycling`s all about.

Nah, we don't need it thanks.

The majority of the WA population live on the western edge of our timezone so we already have up to an extra hour of 'recreational sunlight' 365 days a year

That and the fact that 1/2 the state is above the Tropic of Capricorn so the days up there get shorter in 'summer' as the sun goes past and heads south.
Plus its the wet season so it is humid as shit and everyone heads inside for the A/C and a Beer or three to whinge about the humidity and wait for the roads to reopen to the fishing spots.

What I find funny tet, is Kununurra`s time. From memory it shares the same time as the rest of WA, except for Eucla. Kununurra is only 50 Ks from the border and Eucla around 12Ks or so. Makes me wonder why it`s not on the same time as Eucla.

Eucla time is a weird one, more a bunch of locals saying look at me, look at me and as a time zone is totally unofficial but, shall we say, 'quirky'.
Kununurra residents obviously haven't had their brains fried by isolationism and drug abuse to a similar degree.

The highlights of the Eucla Social Calendar are the Sat Arvo Submarine Races and the annual "Painting of the Lines Ceremony" on the Eyre Highway by Main Roads.

What are the times and dates of the submarine races and Painting of the Lines Ceremony? I might be able to make it.

Just allow for the time difference because you might get there too early or too late, depending on whether you are travelling east or west.

Two hours difference for Qld and WA times, minus the 45 minutes from the two hours to make up for the time correction for the three places. I might make it if I drive through the night.

Nelson has the same sort of problems. It is less than two minutes drive from the border and its landline phone system is connected to SA. I have no idea how they manage to work out what time they are on.

Stating the obvious, he he. But the NT was once part of SA some time ago and they do share the same day time hours as each other now, unless a South Aussie moved close to Kununurra,so there.
