Queensland, along with all the other mainland Australian states adopted a trial of Daylight Saving in 1971. It proved to be just that - a trial - for many Queenslanders and they did not continue with it the next spring unlike the rest of the states. 1989-91 Queensland ran another trial of daylight savings. In 1992, the Queensland Summer Time Act was the subject of a referendum where Queenslanders voted 54.5% against daylight savings.
