Water question
I can't believe I'm asking this already and we haven't even applied for a visa yet however what is the water like in Oz? Hard or soft?
I love the soft water here,drink a lot of tap water, and though I imagine it varies by area, I wonder if anyone in either Tassie, Melbourne or Adelaide can tell me if the water is worth drinking and is it hard or soft?

Re: Water question
Water in Perth certainly where we are in the Northern suburbs is terrible. We always have used filters here.
Have complained to the water people and they say it's safe to drink but know it is awful. Have advised me to run it through a few times in the morning, change filters every month or so and don't leave it in the fridge overnight.

Re: Water question
Here it just stinks and tastes of chlorine. I can't drink it without putting it through a filter.

Re: Water question
However, they are now building a pipeline to connect our water to Brisbanes water, so we may be drinking Brisbanes stuff one day....

Re: Water question
It seems that pleasant tasting tap water is a bit of a rarity, even in the UK.

Melbourne has lovely water and is renowned for it,I never knew you had to put salt in dishwashers.

Wouldn't drink tap water unfiltered in Hertfordshire, won't drink tap water unfiltered here. All tastes bloody awful. Chilled filtered tank water is fab.
