Interesting Public Toilets from Down Under and Land of the Moari.

Hope that visitors from this part of the globe won't  be  surprised to see the Public Toilets of their own countries/areas posted in this blog. These toilets are like those in Malaysia but the different  is that these public Toilets were installed in Recreation Park areas (in a seclude corner) of Hyde Park, Sydney.

In Brisbane,capital of Australian state of Queensland, the Public Toilets in its China Town was found in one of the shop house lot which we seldom or don't see in my part of Town. A very good idea  of providing toilets' facilities in a crowded or no available space for construction of toilets.

In the land of the Maori, one Public Toilet in its Recreation Park of "One Tree Hill" areas, a Cornwall Park, Auckland, NZ found having built with the similar concept with our very own tunnel Toilet in Sibu Lake Garden Phase II. The  Cornwall Park's toilet structure was just like a small dungeon, with its entrance going into the ground and the best of all, this toilet had the facilities to harvest the rain water but only for the urinals.

1. Hyde Park in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
 
Two (2) automatic Public toilets (like those found in the Street of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) but these two were found in seclude corner of the famous Hyde Park at the eastern side of Sydney Central Business District. Australian Fifty (50) cents per entry and the interior, it's more or less  like those auto toilets in our country (Malaysia).

2. Chinatown in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
    
Toilet facilities  in the Shop house lot and this could be the solution for providing Toilets' facilities in the crowded or no space for construction of Public Toilets.

3. Cornwall Park (One Tree Hill ) in Auckland, New Zealand.

A similar concept of Public Toilet with Sibu Lake Garden Phase, Permai and it's a bit better cos' of the rain water harvesting facilities. It could be called a "dungeon" Toilet.
