Quote:@padraic... Me too. We get tooo much, too often, though. Use about a gallon of wd40 a year on my bike. Can you get near water?
My city,Adelaide is on the South Coast of Australia. My suburb is about a 35 minute drive to my favourite beach. The city of Adelaide is built on a river, the Torrens. The CBD is a 20 minute drive from here. (90 minutes by public transport) ,
As for fresh water: we are still under stage 4 water restrictions.That means we are allowed up to 7 hours garden watering a week,hand held spray hoses only. I recently received a $150 government rebate for replacing my WC with one with a smaller water capacity. We also get rebates for installing rainwater tanks My car gets washed about twice a year,using two buckets of water..
