    Hay hay ease up... Ease up betty..
    Just coz you guys get the first dibs on the murry..

    We got some of the best drinking water in oz, they just pollute it with chlorine, fluoride and other crap..

    As for the flinders, there are plenty of parks around there and shearing quarters, if you radio ahead I'm sure most people would be happy to let you top up from there tanks over a beer or 2.

    I think that's why fuic tests so good there.

    Last time I was there, puratap was the name of the game.

    But you are after anything that passes as water? I reckon anywhere you stay would oblige you with a top up.

    I found the towns just south of the finders are 'tourist oriented' ie they have a wide range of stuff, no particular specialisation, and the richer you are, the better.

    Spent a bit of time in the southern Flinders over the years and honestly have never had an issue with drinking water, But i am a Southerner hahaha
    Depends what time of year you go the creeks are plentiful with water thats soooo much better the Vics water, Ha had to throw that one in td, Nothin wrong with good ol SA tap water.
    Nah seriously, plenty of places you can get water in the southern region. Plenty of homesteads and sheep stations around, and little towns thrown in here and there.
    Flinders is quite large though and not sure about up north, Snicko has recently done a trip up northern Flinders, maybe drop her a PM to see whats up that way for supplies.
    Bit of advice though buddy, take a couple of jerrys if heading up north, Snicko was payin over $2 a litre for fuel.
