No water bubblers to be found anywhere.
And I imagine the other cities are the same. You would think we are in some third world country where the water is not fit for drinking.
They spend millions of dollars getting the water to the quality it is then force people to buy that bottled crap.

Not here. There are at least 6 water bubblers in the main street of down town Sandgate.

that water wouldnt of been distilled either. it would be very clean but not distilled to purity.

Distilled water, when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more distilled water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "Distilled water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact. Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed, making the water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by distilled water."

Drinking distilled water robs your body of its natural source for many minerals essential to good health. This results in mineral loss in the body with increases your risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, hypertension, coronary artery disease and premature aging.

The WHO and others studied the use of distilled water and found that because it is stripped of all minerals it can cause electrolyte imbalances in your body. Your body will leach electrolytes from your tissues in order to add them to the mineral free water you are drinking. This is necessary so that your body can function normally and eliminate waste. If the water redistribution process in your body is not functioning properly, you may experience fatigue, weakness, headache, muscle cramps and an abnormal heart rate.

some more stuff.

I find the Warragamba 2016 a pretty tasty drop. ;

I think it is becoming obvious that the chances of humans drinking pure distilled water are very remote, unless of course, you work in a lab. Water absorbs minerals and impurities from the moment it's formed.

I would have to say Melbourne!
Worst = Adelaide, Armidale(NSW) and Philip Island

I havent been to Tassie but hear that a good one too
