i like to think of bush toiletting as my dog does - a poo with a view is always good - and there are some sensational loos pictured here - awesome stuff - i look forward to visiting some of them!

My dog always seems to need to go at the prettiest of places - the Great Australian Bight, looking out to sea - that sort of thing - never failed to make us giggle!

While my favourite human bush dunnies are not coming to mind just now - i do have a couple of points that may be of interest

1. be careful which latch you use on the Kitchen Hut dunny - i was locked in for what seemed like hours (was probably 5 minutes) madly trying to get the latch undone...

2. pooing on the walking path is a big no no - i found a human turd complete with toilet paper smack bang in the middle of the steep track down from Marions Lookout to the Dove Lake circuit. Yes - it was winter, it was cold and there were not too many people around - but gees - this was really unnecesary and disgusting :oops:

Wherever you toilet - be mindful of other track/camp users and....enjoy the view :D

speaking of toilets - i was just speaking to a workmate who climbed Cradle Mountain on Sunday and said the summit was complete with beer bottle and turd and toilet paper. Thats disgusting!
Shame on whoever did that! Its not cool - and its not funny. That person and his poo need to be pushed off the mountain!!

I am heading up tomorrow with a visitor/friend from WA - and might take my trowel in case its still there so i can remove it, though hopefully the rain has washed it away....

Another note - apparently the Kitchen Hut toilet is locked up....so i might expect more poo and loo paper in the vicinity i guess

That is pretty gross. Not surprising of that area though.

Why would they lock the toilet up?? That's just asking for trouble isnt it??
Nothing to see here.

Finding this topic as I backtrack through unread posts in the forum, I couldn't help posting this old slide of mine I recently found (looking for something else :-) of a cast iron "Pissoir" in a bushy part of Brisbane's Albert Park in about 1970. The shape has a resonance of the corrugated iron Parsons Track dunny above. Perhaps one of these industrial revolution masterpieces could be helicoptered into a remote location to be pondered on by the occasional bushwalker as did the apes in 2001 A Space Odyssey marvel over the "slab" from the past/future. :wink:

Dunno, but it was open and useable when I was there in April 2011. plenty of empty "containers" there ready to replace a full one when that happens.

Poo on the track is disgusting! Actually, no, poo ANYWHERE but in a hole (well covered) or a toilet is disgusting~! If ya gotta go, go clean!
