Ornate iron box in Sydney this looks antique, tourists must have thought this art installation or historic ornament colonization era in Australia. Who would have thought that it was a public toilet, perhaps the most unique there.
If you have never seen before or not local people still would not know this is a wrought iron toilet. Therefore, the shape is more like antiques than shitting spot. What's more, there is no marker that the iron box is a toilet.
This unique toilet is located in The Rocks area, precisely under the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Toilet about 2 meters high. The size is not more than 2 x 1 meter. Like the carved the outside of the crown. While the top of the fence shaped like little pointy. The inside of the toilet are not carved aka plain.
There are only 2 places urination plates separated by half a meter wide. From design, clear toilet reserved for men.
In a different area, near the Sydney Harbour or about 3-4 km from the Rocks, there is also an iron toilet. On display in the main street. Its size is almost the same. Just a different design and shape. Are not ornate and no toilet paper.
Both toilets in The Rocks and near the port instead of a portable toilet. The bottom of the second toilet embedded in concrete. Certainly not to avoid criminal action because it is impossible for a thief is able to carry iron and weighing it, but for efficiency. It is conceivable, how much trouble if it should move them from one place to another.
