Toilet Appreciation

In order to appreciate what we have now, perhaps we should look back at the life of ancient people.

Went to Jurong Bird Park and saw this little hut at the Lory Loft. It is a little hut that depicts how forest workers lived in the Australian outback in the early days. During the day, they felled large trees and hauled logs out of harsh forests. At night, they gathered for a hearty meal of damper bread and 'billy tea'.

Life in the Outback

Dunny (Bush Toilet) is an Australian slang for outdoor toilet. Traditionally, dunnies were found in areas with no proper sewerage. They were found wooden sheds with a seat placed over a dunny-can or a deep hole (cesspit). Dunny cans were collected, emptied and replaced weekly by contractors hired by local town council. Dunnies are still being used in some remote campsites and nature trails!

Dunny (Bush Toilet)

Dunny is just the same as our toilet in Early Singapore, where people need to collect these human wastes (placed in buckets) for disposal. One can imagine how smelly and unhygienic it was when there are no flushing system (sanitation development) at all back then. Flies were flying around, together with bad smelling air! Today, we are so lucky to have clean toilets.

Imagine there are only one bush toilet in the whole village. Each time, you have to queue up for the usage of the toilet. After one person had done their 'business' (pass motion), the next person went in. Everything (feaces or urine) were contained in container (buckets or dunny-can). Each person who went into the toilet had to bare with the bad smell in the toilet, regardless of whether you are doing 'big business' (pass motion) or 'small business'(urination).

In this modern society where people are going to school and have better education and housing, we have betterbathrooms in public places as well as at homes. We should never take things for granted, but how do we get here. Despite going to school and having a better education system, we still see dirty toilets, smelly air lingering around the toilets. Why is this so?
