These days, technology updates most of our devices automatically at the official end of daylight saving. That happens at 3.00am on Sunday morning, 6 April, when the clock winds back to 2.00am. Analogue devices should be turned back an hour before bed on Saturday night.
Returning to Eastern Australian Standard Time enables residents across NSW to make the most of the natural light as the days become shorter.
