Nah... Water is everywhere even in your food. You'll also get sick drinking Oz tap water coming from overseas. It's not a reflection of the quality of the water. There are different strains of bacteria in any water that your body needs to adjust to. Usually takes a couple of days. Jetlag doesn't help as your tired body is more susceptible to this. There's even a name for it "la tourista". Self explanatory
