The Toilet Bowl

It is now time that I answer a question asked by many of my friends.
Does the water spin the other way in the toilets in Australia? Or something like that.

Well here is the answer, no, but not for the reason you are thinking. The issue is that ever since I got down here, I can't find a toilet in which the water spins or rotates at all. Now that I have got you all thoroughly confused, let me try to clear up the subject. Australia is the driest continent on Earth, and over the past couple of years they have realised that and taken measures to try and conserve water. They don 't water the lawn as much, they enforce water restrictions, and every time I drive into a town I see a water conservation number ranging from one to five, depending on how low the water reservoirs are running. One of the most effective things done was to install eco friendly toilets, which are just regular toilets, but use way less water, no excess water is wasted when we flush now, so no extra circulating water. Imagine the toilets on an airplane, they are a lot like those, but not quite that extreme. They have even installed waterless urinals, which saves up to a gallon of water when compared to old urinals, and no I am not talking about the waterless ones when you walk up to a tree and pee. In Victoria because of the ten year drought water restrictions are really tough, in Melbourne they actually have signs in the shower asking you to keep them short, down to under 4 minutes because of the lack of water. In some parts of the country, the drought has been going on for 20 years now. I didn't really understand how bad it actually was in Victoria until I saw the Murray River, but that is a whole nother blog.
