Rumor has it that WA spurns daylight saving time so that business executives can get in a quick surf before work. This mellow attitude is a point of pride for many Perthites, as is their city's status as the world's most isolated capital. (Adelaide, the nearest state capital, is at least a two-day drive away.)
