Contrary to popular belief, the water is not affected by the motion of the Earth, or by which hemisphere the bowl is in.
Water drains in a downward direction. How water goes down the plughole is determined by the state of the water when the plug is pulled, the construction of the bowl, and the shape and size of the plughole. It doesn't always go the same way. The vortex direction is dependent on small local factors, and the slightest impulse (motion, temperature) makes it unpredictably random.
On a larger scale, the airflow into cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere is counter-clockwise, and in the Southern Hemisphere clockwise. So if the Coriolis effect were the dominant factor, that would be the direction of the draining.

Which way does water go down drain in Australia?
It may go down in any direction - depending on how the water was spinning at first. If the faucet which you use to fill a container is ever so slightly inclined to the left or to the right, this will give the water a spin that will last for at least a day. Coriolis effects - effects due to the rotation of the Earth - are usually quite secondary.

Where does the water go from the clothes you put in the dryer?
The heat in the dryer makes the remaining water evaporate. The water vapour exits the drum through the vent - and is either expelled through a wide hose, or condensed back into water, which is then pumped out of the machine down a narrow hose, to empty down the sink. Clothes dryers DO NOT collect water to go to a drain. They use the process of heat induced evaporation and the vapor is expelled through the dryer vent to the outside.
