( have to confess, as a child we had the old “tar bucket” number down in the back yard…..... thank god it wasn’t a “long drop” as they always terrified me! LOL)

The shot is bringing back memories for people in my family too:-)

This is a beauty Joe. Great subject and all the components that constitute a great image is evident here in my eyes.
Joe Mortelliti replied

Thanks for checking out the dunny Terry:-)
Peter Hammer

It’s a great find Joe. Where do you park the 4WD and do you still use the dunny?:-)) I hope this is just the neighbour’s block?
Joe Mortelliti replied

Porta Potties have better technology:-)
Darren Stones

A coat of paint (or two) and this would look smashing. Seems the surrounding grass is well fertilised. :)
Joe Mortelliti replied

Are you moonlighting with your brushes:-)
Peter Hammer

I’d be scared to put a brush to much of it Darren as it could make it fall down :-) Long time no hear. How are you these days?
John Kowalski

Ahh! the memories of cold dark long walks in the middle of the night. The pan man and the manditory inspection for spiders before you sat. Love it Joe!!
Joe Mortelliti replied

Good memories John LOL:-)
Philip Golan

They are bound to be there Helen:-)

Wonderful piece of Aussie iconic nostalgia Joe – even down to the concrete washtubs and the brick holding the door open. What a photographer’s delight. Where did you find it? That looks like a main road passing the front door.
Joe Mortelliti replied

Thanks margo, it’s in an old mining area not far out of Heatcote Victoria
Paul Moore

magic subject Joe!
Joe Mortelliti replied

Hi Paul,
I’m very pleased to have come across it:-)
Jeff Catford

Everywhere I look in this image I see something that brings back memories. It couldn’t have been taken anywhere else really except in the great Australin Backyard. Just wonderful Joe, thank you.
Joe Mortelliti replied

Thanks Jeff, good thing about memories is that the smell fades:-)
