Well? I can't sleep until I know "Tornadoes and toilet water spin the other way in the southern hemisphere" isn't a myth I've bought into for so many years.

You Aussies are very clever. How do you manage to make the water just go straight down?

In all seriousness, she works darn hard to look that good. Very disciplined.
I didn't understand how USA toilets flush in any direction so I just watched a You tube video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StmbrLfGC-8
That helped me understand ... Aus is mainly desert and even non-desert areas here suffer frequent droughts so we are water conscious and our toilets are designed to use way less water so they flush straight down.
Here's a chap giving a quick demo of a full flush (uses the most water but still less than USA) on an older less-efficient toilet

here's an example of our usual dual-flush toilets

I think we'd have to run a bath to discover which direction water swirls ... but most people here use quick showers rather than baths which use way too much water.
During droughts (severe & frequent) we have to take an empty bucket into the shower with us to catch any run-off, if we wish to water any plants since we can't justify using rare precious drinking water on plants ... they get left-overs if they are lucky. Water is liquid gold.
Behave ... Richie Havens sang with no front teeth and made a good living at it.
