Australia, New South Wales

Earlier sunrises and later sunsets

My GPS carries sunrise and sunset tables. For weeks and weeks, while up north, I found the sunset time would barely change from day to day and place to place. Now that I have crossed back south of the Queensland / New South Wales border, the sunset time seems to increase significantly with every day’s drive further south. I was getting used to early evenings (7 pm) for a while, but now that I’m back on daylight savings time and getting further away from the equator, it is staying light until 9 pm!
