All that beer makes one piddly and one urgently needs to go to the �WC� (as the Europeans call it), the �Gents� (as the British call it). For Australians out in the bush, we�ll just dive to the nearest �Dunny�. Us Aussies hate to spoil the environment, so we created the environmentally friendly �Dunny�, especially important in the harsh, rural Outback Australia where you may not find a toilet and pub with beer for hundreds of miles.

TECHNICAL INFO The dunny or loo is derived from the Old English word "hleow" which means a small shelter. In reality, it is the local slang for an outhouse toilet located in the backyard. Together with the Hills clothes hoist and Victa mover, the dunny is part of Aussie heritage. It is usually constructed over a large hole dug into the ground.(before the advent of the WC although still used today in the remote outback where septic tanks/water supply is not available)

A timber and iron construction is then placed over the hole. The humble toilet seat was made from one slab of timber, the center cutout was used as a bread board! When the hole in the ground filled up, a new hole is dug out. The old one is simply covered up! Imagine finding one in the desert in the heat of summer where the temperature can be 120 � 130 F (50 � 60 C) !
