I guess you don't need lights 'cos you have light evenings - or do you?

Nope. goes dark around 8:30pm at the moment. Light around 5:15am.
Australia is not as far south and the UK is north. so the south of the UK is at roughly 53 the north is around 59. (I've cycled as far north as 73, the north pole is at 90). Australia is between -10 and -41.5 so the extremes are not as great. also it goes dark much more quickly. rather like someone standing and playing with the dimmer switch. we can actually see it going dark as it happens, you physically notice it.

Also curiously the sunset times will still get later and later until 7th January... this link explains it.
