Australian loos have lovely views
from the mountains to the sea,
When you need to answer nature’s call
they’re where you want to be!
~
This bush loo looks a little rough
but believe me when I say,
it’s better than no loo at all
in a bushland hideaway.
~
These stylish loos are made of stone
which is very apt.
They overlook some famous rocks.
At sunset we were rapt!
~
At Jenolan we found two beaut loos
in excellent locations.
Outside there were garden views
and a hotel for vacations.
~
The Grand Arch housed a second loo
amongst the cave formations.
Please use this loo
before you start your caving explorations.
~
The town of Bermagui
has a loo up on the hill.
With views in all directions,
it really fits the bill!
~
This loo may look a little plain
– it’s very practical.
But sunset over the water
is simply magical.
~
This tidy loo is on the lakes –
the water views are fine.
The locals like to gather
and enjoy the bright sunshine.
~
So when you’re on a road trip
and the distances are long,
If you find loos with views like these
You really can’t go wrong!
More loos with beautiful views!

Actually you’re right. I’d rather dig a hole in the Bush than use some of them. In fact it was o e such loo that prompted the purchase of a porta loo many years ago in our tenting days.

This is a great collection of loos, but I think my favourite (and most unexpected) is the one in the caves. It’s great how they have made it blend in. 🙂

It was built into the wall of the cave so it was very nondescript. The water that came out of the tap was freezing.

Hajaha what a terrific clever post on Loos! In some places and countries they can be so bad I would rather use no loo at all ( for peeing:) and actually enjoy doing that in a natural environment. Not a city of course haha!
Our current loo is in our outdoor garden bathroom and we love looking up into the trees and seeing birds and monkeys while using our loo.
Love the three sisters photo and the stone loos.

I love your Loo with a View series and the poetry just adds to the fun. These were some great loos but I loved the cave one the best. If you ever get down my way, you must visit the loo at Clyde Park Winery. One wall is is glass with a view over the paddocks! You have to kind of hope the farmer isn’t out working.

The cave loo is very popular! I’m not sure about a glass walled loo. I would be in and out very quickly. A friend of mine has a full length window in her loo. It’s very off-putting. 🙂

You MUST link this to Cathy’s poetry invitation. She will love it. As do I. I was very impressed with the loos at Bell’s Beach, Victoria which are painted with Aboriginal artwork.

She has linked one of the other Loo with a View posts before. I will link this one too. Funny you should mention those loos. After I published this, I came across a photo I took in Blackheath of a painted toilet block, which I forgot to include. I might put it in the next post. Thanks, Jude.

I love this post. So clever! When we rafted the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon the guides would set up the ‘loo’ (which had to be packed out onto the raft each day I might add) in some of the most majestic locations imaginable. Your article took me right back to those memories.
