The State Government introduced one hour of daylight
40、saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968.

42、 extended（延长） daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival.
