And to make it worse (for them), it’s starting earlier and finishing later than ever before!

In the ACT, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, daylight savings begins this coming weekend, at 2.00am EST on Sunday October 5th. And this time, it goes right through to 3.00am on Sunday 5 April 2009.

In Western Australia, they begin their 3rd and final “trial” year of daylight savings on 26th October, and it ends for them at 3.00am on Sunday 29th March 2009.

If, like me, you have difficulty remembering whether the clocks go forward or back, then just remember this little gem!

Spring forward… (clocks go forward)
Fall (as in Autumn) back. (clocks go back)

And you’ll never be lost for time again!

That is… unless you live in Queensland or the Northern Territory… but you guys get enough sun up there, so you really don’t want any more!!!

These guys (and gals?) were captured at lunchtime today outside the Fish Co-op at Laurieton, on the mid-north coast of NSW (just 4.5 hrs north of Sydney, and 30mins south of Port Macquarie).

The weather was a little on the chilly side, so they were probably waiting for their order of hot fish to “go”.

Obviously, there’s some pretty good fish and chips available here… or at least, these pelicans seem to think so!

P.S. Hey Laurieton’s not a bad place to visit… I oughta know ‘cos I now live here

Aussies apparently lead the way in turning water into energy which, considering most our our “lucky country” is desert, is just a little strange…

I was surprised to learn that University of Queensland researchers have been able to turn dirty dishwater into electricity [1] since 2005, and even more amazed to hear they’ve found a way to make power from beer [2] of all things.

Prince Charles recently hit the news with reports of having his 38 year old Aston Martin converted to run on wine [3] It’s funny trying to imagine bottles of Bollinger being poured into his gas tank, but he actually uses the “leftover” wine from a nearby winery and converts it to bio-fuel.

We’ve been looking at alternate ways to power our motor vehicles since, well… forever… but when the price of gas hits all time highs as it has done recently… it should come at no surprise that you can now very easily convert your car to run on water (either completely, or partly).

Yes - seriously — WATER!

Apparently… water can burn (quite well actually - even better than gasoline)!

And with a few items that can be picked up from a local hardware or auto supply shop for under $200, anyone can convert their car to run on water!

These HHO water fuel kits can be used to vastly increase the fuel economy of petrol or diesel powered vehicles (yes - cars AND big trucks as well!)

And just a couple of litres of water lasts for ages and can result in increases of up to 75% in your fuel economy - so there’s some great savings to be made there if you do a fair bit of driving!

So… start saving some money on gas right now!

Check out these highly recommended links to some really great information about what you need to do to install water fuel cell systems in your car!

Convert Your Car To Burn Water + Gasoline = Double Your Mileage! — Totally comprehensive $97 product with tech support, and permission to use their device to set yourself up in business!

Run Your Car On Gas And Water — This cheaper $49 ebook includes over 90 pages of easy to follow, yet detailed instructions on how to turn your gas guzzling car into a water-burning hybrid.

VERY IMPORTANT: Both these products now come with a 60-day money-back guarantee, so if you can’t make heads of tails out of any of it, then there’s absolutely no risk for you!

Heck, with interest rates going through the roof… and the cost of living skyrocketing because of increased petrol prices… this is one area where you CAN take control and bite back!

Convert your car to run on water… and make some pretty good savings as well! It’s a much cheaper option than buying a brand new hybrid vehicle to do your bit for the environment!

Oh… and there’s a great new home employment opportunity happening here… All around the world, savvy people are setting themselves up in business and doing the conversions for those of us who aren’t mechanically minded!

Check out this video which shows the “ultimate” - a car running completely on water - with no petrol at all! You’ll even see water burning… something only an Aussie could think of
