IF it feels harder than usual to get up tomorrow, it's probably because you've missed out on an hour of sleep.
It's that time of the year again - the start of daylight saving -- with the clocks jumping forward one hour at 2am tomorrow. Daylight saving is scheduled to end on March 30 but there is a Bill before State Parliament (NSW??) to extend it until April 6.
The ACT, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia will join NSW in starting daylight saving tomorrow while Tasmanians wound their clocks forward an hour on Sunday, October 7.

Meeting Minutes ...
usually the minutes for meetings are posted on COG site on Thursday, but as yet they have not been posted, hopefully they will be posted early next week, updates on the website have been very slack lately, and the coverage of the election was very poor to say the least ...
New era for City
The City of Gosnells has entered a new era with the election of Councillor Olwen Searle as Mayor and the arrival of new Chief Executive Officer Daniel Simms.
Cr Searle was elected Mayor by Councillors at Special Council Meeting.
“It is an enormous honour to be elected Mayor and it brings great responsibility,” said Mayor Searle.
“The City has taken great strides in recent years and we need to maintain that pace of development and improvement.
“Having worked as a Councillor for over 20 years, I will look to bring that experience to the position of Mayor.
“We have a wonderfully diverse community and we need to ensure our City provides a great environment where people can live, work and relax.
“Fortunately we have a great team of Councillors and staff who work well together for the good of the City. I sincerely welcome those who are new to the Council and look forward to working with the group.
“My predecessor as Mayor, Cr Patricia Morris, worked tirelessly for the City and the Council and I will build on those efforts,” Cr Searle said.
“I am also delighted to welcome Daniel Simms as CEO,” said Mayor Searle. His reputation for strategic planning expertise will be of great value to a City which has an enviable reputation in local government for its award winning financial management and commitment to long-term planning.”
This is Mayor Searle’s second term of office as Mayor. Cr Searle’s served previously from 1993 to 1996 and becomes the 22nd leader of the City since 1907.
Cr Julie Brown was elected Deputy Mayor.

October School Holiday Program - Climbing Wall
In October we ran a School Holiday program which included Circus Skills, Painting T-Shirts, Air Rifles and a climbing wall.
This is a video we shot on the day of our good amigo Fernando climbing the wall. He’s using the most difficult climb [which consisted of only the yellow grips].
The kids absolutely loved the climbing wall as well as the other activities we had with them. The food was raved about by the kids, especially the roast lunch that was cooked by our own Manager First Class Constable Kay Turner.
