Running under the sprinkler is a disappearing childhood moment in this part of the country. I don’t know of many areas where you are still allowed to run a garden sprinkler at any time, let alone mid afternoon?
We don’t have a town water supply. We rely on rain water collection and a bore with a windmill, so we are not governed by local water restrictions. Since it rained just a little here (and I mean a lot) around new years and our four huge tanks are full and there is plenty of water in the bore we’ve splashed out a little of late… literally, and oh what fun!
Would anyone like to come and run under our sprinkler?

Luckily, like you, we can still do this – no shortage of water in North Australia at this time of year!

Oh I loved the sprinker when i was little.. and the black plastic waterslide ;).. we’re on tank water too, so on the odd occasion (think a few years back!!) we’ve been able to ‘splash’ out too :)

Isn’t it strange how something we use to do as kids feels almost foreign and unnatural to our children. I dragged the spinkler out the other day and turned it on and my kids just stood there watching.
