Did you know that some part of your taxes are spent by our Government on maintaining a “National Public Toilet Map”:http://www.toiletmap.gov.au/default.aspx?
Yep, sure is, just click on the link and before you can cross your legs you’ll have a full color map marking the location of the nearest public toilet!
The site proudly announces that it is “A project of the National Continence Management Strategy”:http://www.health.gov.au/internet/wcms/Publishing.nsf/Content/Continence-2 which has its own web site! No doubt these two fascinating sites help our bureaucrats spend the $4.5 million dollars per year that is allocated to this “Strategy”.

Catering to the hi-tech enabled grannies (never leave home without your Blueberry to locate the nearest “loo”) has been taken to the extreme. Granny can quickly transfer her latitude and longitude from her GPS to her Blueberry to find her nearby relief.
Better still, the organised traveller can use this invaluable site to plan a trip by joining the public toilet dots between here and there!
For the record, at last count there were 3,210 public toilets in Victoria, and as the picture shows, I am lucky enough to have a unisex (long live Ally McBeal) toilet just 612 metres South West of my home.
I’m just dying to register with the site so that I can plan a tour of Greater Melbourne with the guarantee that I’ll never be more than 15 minutes away from the next toilet stop!
Happy travelling campers..
