In Australia, every new home - going back 15 years must have a water tank installed and it must not be under a certain size. Your grey water to toilets and laundry must come from there. We have a tank on a stand and it’s there just in case as our home is 50 years old. We had a storm last night and when it’s full it diverts the roof water down the gutter and it ends up out to sea. Our useless politicians should be building dams as from now on our north are in the ‘wet season’ and that rainwater is wasted. I’m all for water storage. We could do much in our outback and make it bloom but for some reason it’s desert and wasted.
The redback and black widow are related - except our little mongrels have the red stripe. They can kill a child it not taken to hospital but their bite is dreadfully painful and requires a stint in hospital. Our bad spider in the Funellweb spider. Every hospital has access to its antivenin. They will kill in a very short time. Horrible looking too. Those that live around Sydney with sandstone rock in their gardens, must protect themselves outside. Often people will wake up to dozens in their swimming pools and there is a special unit at one of the major hospitals that collect the spiders if people come across them and this is where the antivenin is made.
While we are on a large block of land but have been preppers for 15 years? It’s peace of mind really. Just gone 5:00 am here Tuesday, the birds (the parrot variety as well as the carnivores like our magpies, butcher birds, kookaburras etc) will be visiting soon. 😀. Gorgeous morning after the rain. God is good!! Take care!
