In Victoria we can water our gardens with a bucket anytime if we fill
our bucket from a tap.

I installed a brass tap at the end of my garden hose, so with
extension hoses I could probably water the whole neighbourhood.
Not in Melbourne. Trigger nozzels, odd numbered houses Wed and Sun 6-8am
and
8-10pm, even numbered houses Tues and Sat same times, manual dripper
systems
the same restrictions, automatic drippers midnight to 4am same odds and
evens as hand held. These are the only methods, you cannot use
buckets/watering cans out side the above days or hours.

I stand corrected, thanks for posting the URL.

I was aware of most of our restictions but I wrongly thought I could
use a bucket or watering can anytime, so you've saved me from
embarrassment if I'd been caught and also possibly a fine.
It used to be you could bucket water on the off days once upon a time but
they changed it for the current state-of-affairs.

We probably won't have to worry about it for too much longer as stage 4
restrictions (NO watering of gardens except with grey water) are mooted to
start around May this year or when the storages drop to ~28%.

:-(

Thank you O' Cheerful One. :-)

Looks like then I'll need to replace the brass tap with a shower rose
and fit the hose to a tap connected to the hot water service.

Then I'll need to buy a movable stand and a shower curtain to try and
avoid having neighbours peering over fences and possibly falling off
ladders at shower time.
Would that be standing on ladders, falling off laughing?
That would certainly be case for most of us not in our prime!
