This is an educational piece indeed and I concur, I wouldn't dare use this dunny if I could help it! Sounds similar to but no better than the 'outhouse' of the South. High temperature with ghastly humidity and bugs that could take you and you're dunny away. Yes, bugs are that big in the 'South'. This brought a smile to my face and some education as well, well done! Ashley xo

The term 'dunny' is one of my favorite Australian colloquialisms. Delighted you have honored it with this 'educational' piece. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
