Queensland refused to follow the southern states of Australia in adopt daylight saving. Conceited Southerners attributed that to the backward nature of those further north.
Daylight savings is not such a good idea if summer and winter day length does not vary that much and there is not much of a twilight.
The closer you get to the tropics, such as Queensland is, day length does not vary through the year and there is next to no twilight. In the tropics, you can look forward to the night because it is cooler.
Arrogant Southerners pretended to know what was good for Queensland despite knowing nothing of why daylight savings was introduced in the first place. It was to take advantage of large variations in the length of the day over the seasons. There are no such large variations in the length of the day in tropical Queensland, particularly in North Queensland.
