Daylight Saving
In Tasmania
'About Time'
Various
interpretations of the history of daylight saving have appeared in recent
years. Indeed, books have
been devoted to the subject, but these have largely not dealt with
Australian aspects of the application of daylight saving. In this light
I have been asked to make available some research on the origins
of daylight saving and it's use in Tasmania published by me in
1984.
