Back yard dunny

One of our first garden  structures when we moved here is this :



There was no door, floor or let alone witch on top originally. It was sited in the middle of an otherwise empty paddock  that was about to be subdivided. I knocked on the door of the nearest house and enquired about it and was given permission to remove it.  Fortunately,  I knew someone with a crane truck who was able to pick it up intact and relocate it to our yard. Total cost was a carton of beer.  It has been the dog house for a number of years.  The witch came from Montville (behind the Sunshine Coast) but I think is made in Africa somewhere.  The door Anne found at the local Sunday market and seems to have come from an old house at Ipswich.  It fitted almost perfectly - but doesn't really give any  privacy!  On the southern side of this I planted a Richmond Birdwing vine some years ago.

Here's also photo of a cabbage we picked yesterday

I think the outdoor loo lacks character, it should have two legs showing under the door; so get back to the markets Anne & find the right combination of LEGS! Yeah. look forward to seeing the revised version of the outdoor loo.
