Re: THE WATER - drinking?
The water quality standards are not as good in Oz as they are in the UK but most of it is ok, a lot of people I know use a brita filter as this has carbon and removes some of the impurities. I have rain water tanks as we have no water supply and I drink it.

Re: THE WATER - drinking?
LOL, are you kidding? 
I take it you haven't tasted Tassie water...
The stuff we get in the West Midlands is practically liquid gravel!
Limescale was virtually unheard of where I lived in Australia; over here it seems to be inescapable. 
Last year I removed a fist-sized lump of rock-hard limescale from the kitchen drainpipe. Now, I've heard of "mineral water", but that's ridiculous.

Our water is fine , we bought a fridge with ice n water dispenser on the front , this is connected via a filter and does taste nicer than straight out of the tap .
The cold water and ice on tap is a godsend in summer
