Yes us Aussies do things differently (I'm actually an Ex pat Brit but been here for 25 years) But the earth mat in Oz is terrible, very sandy dry soil (if you can actually call it soil). We have similar bonding requirements however I have never once seen the use of an earth loop impedance tester here, yet we were using them for years in the UK before I came here. You must admit though the use of the Thunder days map is quite intriguing.
