If only it was also the end of Daylight Saving, Heather.

[Dave Smith]

You lot have sure been sucked in, ‘Sun go up Sun go down’ that’s how much daylight ya get! Changing the clocks back and forward don’t make no never mind to the sun.

An Heather we will still be enjoying the last rays of summer when you are in the dark.

I love the autumn so I'm happy!

Raining, raining, raining here. It's lovely.

I think I ran over some frogs coming home from work. I don't know why they cross the road in front of cars.

Did I tell you I love autumn?

[warooa]

So why did the from cross the road, Heather?

Cane toads go "pop!" when you run over them

One of my earliest memories of Qld is camping by the road side near Bowen and lying awake after a rain storm listening to the sound of popping toads over the road trains exhaust brakes

As for daylight saving . . .

For far too long us Queenslanders;
we’ve been the laughing stock,
for southern folk to look up north
to find someone to mock.

There’s cane-field toads,
and Joh and Flo’s corrupt white-collar crime.
And then you laughed cos we said “no”
to daylight saving time.

But us Banana Benders
got the whole she-bang worked out -
we know your daylight saving
is a major cause of drought.

Cos we don’t need no PhD
or science on our side,
to work out extra daylight hours’ll
leave you parched and dried.

Just do the maths:
for six months of the hottest time of year
you get an extra hour of sun and
you think we’re bloody queer!

And you blame our cotton farmers
cos your Darling’s runnin’ dry.
But we know all that toolin’
with ya clocks’ the reason why.

So stick ya daylight saving time
and your extra sunny hour.
You think that we come down
in our last drought-free Queensland shower?

I like daylight savings because it's day light when I'm awake and dark when I'm asleep. Makes sense to me...
