Yes, enjoyed using sprinker as a kid on a hot Summer's day in Northern NSW. Heaps of fun, but had to quickly turn it off when my Dad came home...not allowed to waste water he said! I think he knew though!

You'd get fined in Perth if you run your sprinkler between 9am and 6pm.
Only allowed to run your sprinklers 2 days a week after 6pm or before 9am.

Luckily, this doesn't apply to us. No use for a sprinkler on the 19th of an apartment block in Applecross.

I suppose we would have to negotiate the 380 - 400 stairs to ground level.
