When he travelled through the Southern Hemisphere, Charles Darwin dedicated
himself to collecting data and specimens for the furtherance of science. The same
went for that other guy who accompanied Capt. Cook to Botany Bay. So while it
is rather late, I have decided to make my contribution.
After observing the two plug holes in our current
accommodation in Wadonga, I can say that the water goes down clockwise. Now this would not
meet Darwin’s standard of proof but I offer it out there to compare with what
happens in the Northern Hemisphere, So now it’s over to you.
Stop Press - hold your horses for I have repeated my observations in Melbourne and found a sink that empties anti-clockwise. So there you have it, the direction does not depend on which hemisphere you are in. It probably does for hurricanes and cyclones but that is another story.
So this trip has been fully justified from a scientific perspective. Charlie would be proud.
