Update: In December I rigged up a simple gravity fed greywater system where every drop from the showers runs onto the front lawn...
Its simply PVC under the house and converts to black flex pipe once it gets outside...
like bec I move the house around daily to ensure the water is spread out evenly...
My lawn is still nice and green as in the previous pics
If water restrictions go up again I will have to work out something a little more elaborate to do the back lawn as its (unlike the front lawn) uphill
What are peoples thoughts on the grey water pump such as these ones?

Grey water is fantastic as long as you do not poisen your garden with additional salt of phosphrus that will kill native vegetation.
Check out http://www.lanfaxlabs.com.au/laundry.htm for washing machine detergent details. We will stop using Omomatic now I know most of it is filler.

How do you find the Sir Walter goes in winter, Tekskelator? I'm thinking of putting some in once the restrictions ease up a bit, but I've seen some that has yellowed off completely once the frosts hit.
At the moment I'm trying to work out whether I could establish a new lawn during restrictions at the same time as trying to work out how to deal with surface water flooding from all the recent storms .

Try oversowing with oats. They establish fast, aerate the soil, protect the young turf from heavy sun and seeing as you keep mowing them (very high setting) they dont seed and rot away after the season.
A boorowa farmer taught me this and was how they got grass to grow on new dam walls and such in the heat.
