Toilet Tours / South Coast Victoria

South Coast Victoria

There is a certain solidity to the toilets along this stretch of south coastal Victoria. Toilet blocks are built to last. Except, perhaps, for the more recent constructions.

The town of Port Campbell offers a solid building with additional steel bar security. Are the locals in the habit of stealing the external plumbing ? Or does the steel fence protect against accidental car crashes into the pipework ? Indeed, the external pipework is the only vulnerable aspect of the solidly built structure.

Even the customers are solidly built and not liable to sudden movements. For ten minutes I waited outside, waiting for the sole occupant of the Gents to vacate the sole cubicle. Waited... and waited... Finally I set my wife to guard the entrance and used the Ladies. As we drove away, the solid citizen was still firmly ensconced in the toilet. A slow reader, perhaps.

A side trip to Boggy Creek revealed another solid structure by the Boggy Creek creek. Built in the traditional rectangular shape, yet with bricks of stone. The well-placed rubbish bin adds another useful feature to the picnic area which has been provided to accompany these toilets.

And then there is Nullawarre...

Nullawarre offers a pleasant break on the drive along the Great Ocean Road. Friendly service and instant coffee in the pleasantly aged village Restaurant. With the more recent addition of a combined toilet block and barbeque shelter adding an extra convenience to visitors who would otherwise barely notice the town. Only a spot on the map, yet well worth a brief pause on life's journey.

Another minor detour and another very solid stone building. In the Tower Hill park, the toilets share space with tourist information. The hill behind provides an equally solid backdrop (as well as a geocache). The thundering and rumbling sounds are, perhaps, nothing more than an echo of the volcanic crater in which this building is built.
