Not a crib but a Dunny

Majorman · Feb 24, 2022

We stay in this place, a lighthouse, when we go to Australia. Outhouse is 20 yards from the cottage and quite interesting at night when you get older. It also never stops blowing, just the speed of the wind changes.

And there is an inch gap under the door to let the snakes and lizards' out.

Oh, brother! My wife and I toured England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland on a couple of trips a few years ago. We rented cars and drove around the island stopping at various places of interest. We stayed in B&Bs and tried to meet as many local people as we could.

My wife had one primary requirement for the B&B accommodations. They had to have an ensuite loo. No loo in the room - not acceptable place to stay. If I had tried to get her to stay in that place in Australia that you pictured, she would have been on the next flight to the states.

Hello Majorman. Where in Aus is the lighthouse?

Majorman · Feb 24, 2022

These are for SV, Ann and I love this place, about 25 miles down a rough dirt road with only the occasional visitor and the caretaker. Beautiful scenery, birds and animals, hundreds of skinks (little lizards) live in the rock walls and come out to sun themselves. Seals on the rocks and a shipwreck which contained a load of Ford Model T's on its way to dealers further up the coast. Not much left of that now. Walks in the dense bush with all the sweet smelling bushes and trees.

It is Point Hicks, allegedly the first land Captain Cook sighted on the Australian continent and is named after his navigator.

Interesting thanks, that is a pretty fancy out house. In 1982 I took one of those 20 day bus tours through Europe it was a low budget British tour company so it was mostly British Commonwealth members. There was an Australian student and her mother, they sure know how to vacation. As Americans we are pretty spoiled. I told the younger staff where I work that the house I lived in until I was seven didn't have a bathroom, they didn't believe me. When I told them that my grandmother used to serve raccoon for Sunday dinner they were horrified. Once I mentioned that the squirrels we have around the office might make a satisfactory lunch and I was practically an outcast. My mother had all theses pictures of me taking a bath in a washtub with my cousin when I was a baby. So technically I have been in a hot tub with a girl.

Miangus--We didn't have a indoor bathroom or running water until 1957. I have taken many baths in a #3 washtub. Going to the outhouse in the winter was very cold. We had a pot(thunder mug) under the bed that we used also. LOL The good old days.

I have done the dunny. Thanks, Majorman, for keeping the puzzles going.

We had an outhouse until I was a senior in school. One embracing incident happened to me. I was in the out house. The bus was honking for me. Everyone on the bus saw me run out of the little house, through the main house to the bus. It must have been very trimitic for me as I remember it all these years. Dad had a house built about the time I graduated from school. No more trips outside. Stan

I'll share that story with you. Neighbor next to Mother's best friend had a red-headed girl and my Mother loved red heads. Still have the old photo of ~4 year me in a round tub with girl! Ugh! I've hated red heads ever since.
