NSW Attorney General Mark Speakman is reminding residents of Dubbo and the rest of NSW to "update their clocks".

"These days, technology updates most of our devices automatically at the official end of daylight saving," he said.
"That happens at 3am on Sunday morning.. when the clock winds back to 2am.
"Analogue devices should be turned back an hour before bed."
Mr Speakman said the return to Eastern Australian Standard Time enabled residents across NSW to make the most of the natural light as the days became shorter.
"In these days of social distancing and self-isolation, many will find the extra hour's sleep-in on Sunday morning very welcome," he said.
Daylight saving starts on the first Sunday in October and finishes on the first Sunday in April.
This same period of daylight saving is observed in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT.
Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not change their clocks.
Daylight saving has been in effect in NSW continuously since 1971.
