bring your own but be aware that you need a qualified electrician to fit it each time you want a bath.

ROFLMAO!!!! bath plugs fitted by the electrician!!!

Although if you're heading to Brissie, a bath is out of the question at the moment due to the water use restrictions! 4 minute shower, or a fine for over using your quota!
