Dairy products and water

[Emel]

Hi everyone,

I'm moving to Perth from Scotland in February. I'll be working at Fiona Stanley Hospital. So will be renting somewhere on the south.

Whenever I am not in Scotland the two major things I miss are dairy products such as milk and yoghurt and nice tasty water from the tap. 

I'd appreciate it if you tell me your experience.

Tap water: get a water filter. Just been visiting my home country and after 2 years away, the water tastes funny overe there not in Australia.

Dairy: tastes the same over here imho. I even like the yoghurt better.

We find the tap water here fine, as with the milk, and hubby loves the yoghurt here. No difference really,  not as much choice yoghurt wise though.

Lots of choice with both really.

I drink tap water and the majority of the time it is OK, although I do use a Brita Filter Jug now and again when it begins to taste a bit metalic.   I also buy sparkling mineral water as I like a bit of phizz now and again.

Milk wise, I hate all those psuedo skimmed and semi milk products and will only use the full cream natural stuff.  I am also a bit anal about using WA home produced products, so I only ever buy Bannister Downs Milk products as they are a West Australian Family Dairy and their milk tastes just as it used to years ago.  So many of the milk companies in WA and Australia now have foreign ownership, and I like to keep my money in WA where it is earned and support family business.
