Australian Physics Lesson
Many educated people believe that water drains counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
This is called the Coriolis effect. It has to do with the Earth’s rotation, and empirical evidence such as cyclone and typhoon direction.
However, it is FALSE.
Even though the Coriolis effect is valid if all other things are equal, it has so little force that things like tilt and flush location have a far greater effect.

I have been to Australia 6 times and never actually double checked that Barry. Thanks for the information :) I just wanted to say that as a lover of world travel myself I find your blog very enjoyable. I check for your Twitter update every morning to see where in the world you are and then read the full blog here. Looks like you are both having a great time. Take care Mark Napolitano
