Many people believe that toilets in Australia flush counter-clockwise (i.e. the opposite way of the United States' toilets). This is untrue, as the forces involved are too weak to influence flow on such a small scale; the direction of such floow in toilets and bathtubes is more-or-less random, influenced by perturbing factors in the system.
Whirlpools do flow in the opposite direction on opposite sides of the Equator due to Coriolis Force, an effect of the Earth's rotation.

What is life like on sheep stations in Australia?
Life on a sheep station is very hard work, but most of the men and women working there would not have it any other way. The sheep stations are isolated many miles from other neighbors. Workers put in long hours each day tending to the sheep and maintenance on the buildings and equipment on the station.
Who can use a handicap bathroom?
Everyone can. If the toilet stalls are all occupied or if there is a line then it's OK for you to use the toilet if you know you'll be quick. If you can't be quick then don't use it. If you see a disabled person in line then they should get it first. If the toilet stalls are empty then you shouldn't use it unless you need to. Like if you have small children with you. This is having good manners. Disabled people should always "get the right of way." If you ever see a handicapped person in the line, then let the person in front of the line know and together you can hold that stall for them. This gives you a chance to be of service and show kindness.
Which way does the water spin when you flush the toilet?
AnswerUnlilke common belief, what hemisphere you live in has nothing to do with the way the toilet flushes. It spins according to how your toilet is manufactured.
Which way does the toilet flush in Australia?
Actually, they don't. The direction of motion is caused by the Coriolis effect. This effect is the basis of the Foucault pendulum demonstration and also causes the counterclockwise rotation of cyclones in the northern hemisphere. However, this effect in a basin or toilet is so weak that most of the time the direction of spin of draining water is the sum of other effects.
Does the water in a toilet is flushed spin one way in the northern hemisphere and spin the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere?
No, the water in a toilet does not spin one way in the northern hemisphere and spin the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere. The spin of the water in a toilet is determined by the shape of the toilet bowl and the flush system, not by the direction of the Earth's rotation. In a toilet, the water is flushed by a flushing mechanism. This flushing mechanism is usually activated by pushing a lever or pushing a button, and it causes water to be released from the tank into the bowl. The shape of the toilet bowl, as well as the type of flushing mechanism, determines how the water will move once it enters the bowl. When the toilet is flushed, the water quickly fills the bowl and then begins to swirl around. The force of the swirling water will cause it to push against the sides of the bowl and create a whirlpool effect. As the water circles around the bowl, the shape of the bowl determines the direction in which the water will spin. The water will usually spin in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and in a counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere. The spin of the water in a toilet is determined by the shape of the toilet bowl and the type of flushing mechanism, not by the direction of the Earth's rotation. The shape of the bowl and the type of flush system will determine the direction in which the water will spin, regardless of which hemisphere the toilet is located in.
Which way should I sit on the toilet?
Legs on the other side of the toilet lid.
If you spin fast one way will you not be dizzy if you spin the other way?
Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You are just as dizzy after the second spin as you were after the first. Every year, many children confirm this answer by experiment.
Does tropical storm spin the other way?
The spin is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
How do you get rid of dizziness?
if you mean dizziness from spinning around, just spin the oppositeway, it sounds pathetic, but it actually works. try it now, spin one way, then spin the other way.
How do you make a toilet in basketball?
There really is no specific way. If the ball happens to spin around the hoop many times, then it does so. Trying to do this is very difficult.
How do you do cool spin moves?
first take one foot and swing it behind the other then spin 2 times. to spin the other way put other hand on opposite shoulder and slide across chest while spinning back to the center.
Which way does a LEGO RCX spin?

Does Uranus spin the wrong way?
Yes it does. "Wrong ???' Try different from most of the other planets.
Do all hurricanes spin the same way?
cyclones. We say hurricanes. Thank you for asking such an educated question! Your welcome and bye!">Yes they do all spin the same way ~ counter clockwise. But in Australia, they spin clockwise because of they are in the southern hemisphere, while a hurricane is the same type of storm in the northern hemisphere. They call them cyclones. We say hurricanes. Thank you for asking such an educated question! Your welcome and bye!
