Out hiking today, testing out my new Aarn bodypack, when I came upon this toilet, got me thinking, surely there can't be any out there worst than this. So I put a call out there, what's the worst Dunny you have seen?

Yhat's a nice dunny - rustic and fitting a bit with the environment. I think I prefer it to the one at Bert Nichols Hut (Windy Ridge) on the Overland Track. Seems like a bit of overkill to me. But then the whole hut is.

Looks pretty heavily fortified.
The builder of this one must not have had much privacy.
It looks like someone's left the light on. Hope it's solar. :D

Of course we have the flying saucers in the Western Arthurs. Nice surroundings but rarely with a view as they are nornally tucked up in thick bushes. I'd like to see someone using it while it was being moved.

well these are classic
Someone had too many baked beans on Brown Mt. :roll:

Pardon my ignorance but is that actually how one uses them in the Western Arthurs?

Like Size11 - surely that things still not connected to the power grid? Lights on!!

Those reserve dunnies are elaborate. I remember the impressions of my first sighting of the Watervalley dunny. Thought it was a new hut. The smell wasn't very inviting though.

We have a foldable, portable one for car camping - the whole thing folds flat:

It's actually called 'Jimmys ThunderBox' !

Don't have any action pics :) but found this one on 4wdaction:

That's pretty much it - except with the lid off and the pants down.

(Haven't worked out how to quote part of someone else's post, sorry.)

Yeah gathered the nickers come off :D

Graham51 I just select what I want to quote then use the 'Quote' tab above here (assuming you are in full editor) and then place your selected text inside the [quote] [quote]
I've added some spaces and deleted the / else it would show a blank quote.
Or just paste your 'quote', select it and then hit the Quote tab above. Same result.

I did meet someone on the WA's who used the standing area as a seat. I could not do that. Rather squat up there in the wind and rain.

Stumbled upon this beauty near the Styx River a few years back.
