We've begun in  our backyard

(for obvious reasons)

.... but hope to eventually rate as many public toilets around Australia as possible. To start, we've graded the facilities out back, and while we were there, we took the time to check out the local surrounds. The idea being to give you the whole package, so to speak.

whereisthedunny aims to build a dunny network we can all be proud of. Let's spread the word and start talking about this common yet strangely taboo topic. To share your experiences, or to recommend a top thunderbox, click here

A drop in the bucket?

Sanitation saves lives! Access to adequate sanitation is a human right. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2015 there will be 2.7 billion people without basic sanitation. In Africa, 115 people die every hour from diseases linked to poor hygiene and contaminated water.

But what can I do? What may seem like a drop in the bucket to you, could change, even save, someone's life...Read more

Restroom ratings

Why use a dingy dunny with a smell to outlast religion (as Kenny Smyth so blithely puts it) when you could be seated in luxury, newspaper on hand (for reading), and an endless supply of supersoft, double ply toilet paper?

Next time you're desperate to use the loo, don't pull up at the first petrol station or head for the nearest tree. There are plenty of clean places where you can pass the time (well, that and other things!) in comfort.

whereisthedunny has sworn allegiance to the throne, so take your pick - our ratings system is designed to help you steer clear of sub-par facilities. Read more

A very good place to start

Fleurieu Peninsula

A well-planned trip starts at the very beginning - so we'll begin in our backyard, where the mighty Murray meets the sea, and work our way up...

The Fleurieu is a tourist hot spot. Whether you're a first-timer or regular visitor, there's plenty to discover both on and off the beaten track. Read more

And should you find yourself in dire straits along the way (i.e. in desperate need to see a man about a dog), whereisthedunny will point you in the right direction. Read more

Kenny’s corner

Everyone's favourite toilet technician is joining whereisthedunny as we tackle the task of finding the top spots to answer nature's call.

Overalls and all, Kenny brings his quirky quotes and plumber's tips to help us on our way. So come on, Australia, "let's all ring Joyce!" Let's have a laugh, and let's breathe a collective sigh of relief that wherever we are, we're never far from the closest rest room.

Porcelain poetry

Jokes, quotes and other toilet trivia

A guest in a five-star hotel called up the front desk and said, "Excuse me, madam, I've got a leak in the basin." The receptionist replied, "Oh, OK... go ahead. But most guests prefer to use the toilet."

Sharon was over the moon to finally score a win at the local RSL's weekly Bingo Night. Her very practical, take-home prize was a new toilet brush. The following Tuesday, one of her Bingo buddies asked how she liked the prize, to which she replied, "Not bad, but I think I'll stick with paper!"

“Newspapers are so filthy and bestial that no honest man would admit one into his home for a water-closet doormat”

Did you know?

Picture this: you're sightseeing in the city, enjoying your day when, all of a sudden, you need to go...really fast. You’ve two choices - the stall of a rundown public toilet or the lobby loo of a five-star hotel. Guess what? You have every right to use the toilet in the hotel lobby (even if the receptionist glares at you). Bottom line, if the place is open for business, you can use their loo, and the law will back you up!
