In the last 7 years I have only been sick once from potentially "dodgy" water. That was on a trip to the south of Tasmania where I was so cold, tired and wet I missed the obvious and drank "smelly" water. Just had "the runs" a couple of times and was OK. lol I have seen people filter and sterilize water in some of the most pristine areas in the world (also in Tasmania) and have stood next to them, scooped the water into my bottle and drank it while I watched them "process" their next drink - insane imo. Cheers and bottoms up! Good point Carlo,

My wife and I chose to use tablets, but to be honest, I have no idea if they actually did anything! Could have just been placebos :P Interesting post about the drinking water along the GOW at Frank’s blog:

The views are spectacular, it is not busy and the facilities are fantastic (compared to a lot of Aussie hikes they are 5 star!) We have blogged about the walk here and you might enjoy reading about our trip! http://frankinoz.blogspot.com/2007/06/great-ocean-walk-may-2007.html There are a lot of other posts about the walk scattered around our Hiking Blog as it is a ripper!
