In January 2008 over the holiday period I installed a rainwater tank. The total cost was about $2000 and we sourced all the bits and pieces from two suppliers, One Stop Sprinklers and Bunnings; both in Notting Hill.
This is not just about having water for the garden, I actually get back some of my normal life that was taken away by local, state and federal authorities. Now I can water the garden, wash the cars and clean the concrete and windows whenever I feel like it and at a time that suits me - not them.
Just finished helping the delivery guy get the tank off the truck and down the driveway to the front of the carport.
