Toilet Tours / Pemberton to Donnybrook
We drive from Forest Lodge in Pemberton to Quince Cottage near Donnybrook. Nearish to Donnybrook, anyway. On a farm, about twenty minutes drive from Donnybrook. Bracing for the drive, we start the day with a hearty breakfast. Fruit salad, honey and yoghurt on pancakes. Bacon, eggs and mushrooms on pancakes, with marmalade and maple-flavoured syrup. It's okay, it was healthy, the eggs were poached.
We start driving just after ten am. Driving north. Via various towns. Our first stop is not a town, it's the Diamond Tree, with a cache and a toilet.
A standard, well-maintained timber-on-concrete-pad bush toilet. The Parks people do great work maintaining their toilets.
We pause briefly in Manjimup to find a geocache and to admire the spectacular autumn colours on the european trees. (Our own WA trees are evergreens.) Autumn is more noticeable on the colder southwest ! And, of course, there is a toilet:
It's an interesting structure but not, I admit, all toilet. The steel structure to the right is a small performance space, attached to but not really a part of the more traditional brick toilet.
Manjimup also provides a magnificent, very traditional brick toilet, in the centre of a rather run-down park. Note that this toilet is complete with graffiti -- poorly painted over -- and an old chair tossed onto the roof:
Brilliant !
We drive further north, towards Greenbushes, and a geocache draws us to the oval just south of town. There is an oval, tennis courts, kiosk and toilets. After some discussion we decide that the small caravan park -- on the far side of the oval -- does not fit into the category of "public" toilet. So we photograph only the sports toilet.
The even smaller town of Kirup offers a geocache, in a small, pleasant park by the main road. The cache is hidden somewhere on the town gun; we barely glance at the gun, we are not fond of small magnetic caches on large metallic objects. The toilet, however, is excellent:
Small, rectangular, red brick, classic.
We eat lunch at the Bridgetown Hotel, a very nice pizza. Then afternoon tea at Donnybrook, after some shopping for the evening meal. A few more caches as we drive, including a cache on a Donnybrook footbridge -- a cache that we had failed to find a few years earlier. Then we speak with another caching couple at the railway station in DB. And take a photo of the central town toilet.
There is also a toilet in a park, just out of the town centre.

This toilet is in a good-sized park. There is also a cache on another town gun. We ignore the cache but photograph the toilet.
And drive on to our accommodation, Quince Cottage.
