The Best Toilet in Australia?

Australia, as previously mentioned, does two things really well, and those two things are toilet coat-hooks, coffee, friendly banter, crocodiles, and beer. These things are largely helpful to the weary traveller. Should one find oneself in Sydney, moreover, one has the option of combining several of these Australian specialities on one of Dave's Pub Tours. We spent a chilly evening warming our cockles by means of what was effectively a history lesson, with beer, being entertained by Dave (not to be confused with the original Dave, or one of the other Daves). What's more, we believe we may have stumbled over what may be Australia's best toilet! Feel free to provide evidence proving that we're wrong, but we believe that these photos, from the Australian Hotel in the Rocks area of Sydney, speak for themselves.

We can't remember why we took this photo, but presumably we were struck by the lighting and also the art?

There was an airdryer, but also a paper towel dispenser - with festive eyes!

An instance of the cheerful practical spirit of Australia: why bother having two taps when you can have just one?

Does this charm your socks off?

Remember when Jonny came across a foot-operated door at the Toddington motorway services? This door is even more delightful.

We heartily recommend downing a half-pint in front of the fire in an old sailors' pub.

This excellent clock wall tells one what time it is in, among others, the Guinness and the Warsteiner geographic regions.

Moving on from Sydney, a quick note on the toilets of Queensland. In summary, there are many interesting varieties of water-saving flushes and taps, and also the windows are open a lot - if there are any. 

Last but not least, we ended up, for complicated reasons, in a hostel in Cairns, where the bar toilets sported this amusing sign:

For our Jonny Babe Parade photo, here's a nautical-themed one we hopefully haven't published before. (And if we have, we apologise - we are in the very privileged position of having more toilet selfies of Jonny than we know what to do with.) Jonny in a porthole - woof! You're welcome.

Another thing that Australia does really well is lots of sudden, unexpected rain.
